`ctc config file does not exist` even after running `ctc setup`

[sjkelleyjr]

I've run ctc setup with all defaults, once after initial install, and once again when I saw the above warning. However, the warning doesn't seem to go away.

I thought maybe it was an errant warning, so I tried tracing a tx hash and got this

Task exception was never retrieved
future: <Task finished name='Task-2' coro=<async_eth_get_transaction_receipt() done, defined at /Library/Python/3.8/site-packages/ctc/rpc/rpc_executors/rpc_transaction_executors.py:90> exception=ConfigInvalid("provider should have keys: {'convert_reverts_to_none', 'session_kwargs', 'network', 'chunk_size', 'name', 'url', 'protocol'}")>

is a config.json file generated in the ~/.config/ctc dir? if so can you post the config here (with provider url removed)?

[sjkelleyjr]

nope

[detroitcoder]

Did you specify a custom ctc_data location? If so, try using the default. I saw a similar error at the end of ctc setup in one of my variations of debugging an issue.

[sjkelleyjr]

I ran ctc setup with all defaults, including ctc_data, which it looks like defaults to my home directory, as expected Continue using data directory /Users/jackson/ctc_data?

[sjkelleyjr]

In the short term, is there a default config file I can just copy/paste to the ~/.config/ctc directory?

[sslivkoff]

pasting a config file won't work on it's own because the setup process needs to initiate the filesystem.

it's complaining that the rpc provider is ill formatted. can you run ctc setup --debug, and then in this issue paste the output of print(provider) (omit your private provider url)

also, from the path format it looks like youre using a mac. is this correct?

[sjkelleyjr]

yep

Here's the output from print(provider), with my API key substituted out.

{'name': 'ETH_RPC_URL', 'network': 1, 'protocol': 'http', 'url': 'https://eth-mainnet.alchemyapi.io/v2/MY_API_KEY', 'session_kwargs': {}, 'chunk_size': None}

[sjkelleyjr]

I don't think the provider error is related to the config problem. It occurred after I tried to just trace a tx in case the warning was errant. My guess is, the first error you hit when you don't have a config file is about the provider when tracing a tx.

I am running into this same error, also on macOS - I've tried with both Alchemy and Infura provider URLs.

Here is the output of print(provider) in PDB for me:

{'name': 'ETH_RPC_URL', 'network': 1, 'protocol': 'http', 'url': 'https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/MY_API_KEY', 'session_kwargs': {}, 'chunk_size': None}

I also use macOS, ran into the same problem when I change the recommended data_dir. It worked fine when I let it as default value

[Poor4ever]

same problem,if environment variable has ETH_RPC_URL,ctc setup doesn't work,

temporary methods to make it work properly: delete the ETH_RPC_URL environment variable or add 'convert_reverts_to_none': False in the add_env_var_rpc_provider function of config_defaults.py under default_config['providers'][provider_name].

[sjkelleyjr]

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm about 99% sure this was my problem since I have that same environment variable. Ty!
