IdlError: Type not found: {"name":"inner","type":{"defined":"StakeState"}} in anchor-cli version 0.18.2

[kAsky53]

Hello, I have used solana_program::stake::state::StakeState in my state.

#[account]
pub struct StakeWrapper {
    pub inner: StakeState,
}

It doesn't seem like anchor serialize enum with tuples properly.

#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize, PartialEq, Clone, Copy, AbiExample)]
#[allow(clippy::large_enum_variant)]
pub enum StakeState {
    Uninitialized,
    Initialized(Meta),
    Stake(Meta, Stake),
    RewardsPool,
}

When I run anchor test it throws the following error.

IdlError: Type not found: {"name":"inner","type":{"defined":"StakeState"}}

Is there anyone who have resolved this sort of issue before?

Thank you!

I guess this happens because StakeState is defined in the external crate. You can modify IDL in runtime before loading and add StakeState definition. But I can be wrong.

[kAsky53]

@fanatid Thanks for your kind reply, however I am not sure how can I modify IDL in runtime especially when I am doing anchor test. Do you have any idea about this?

Thank you!

[fanatid]

You can build first anchor build, then modify IDL definitions and run tests without building anchor test --skip-build.

Got it - thank you so much @fanatid !
