Question

I learning solana with https://solana.com/developers/courses/intro-to-solana/intro-to-cryptography

I have secret key in .env in format: SECRET_KEY="[(a series of numbers)]"

I installed npm i @solana-developers/helpers

And all other nesessary things

run npx esrun transfer.ts (public key)

got Error:

Node.js v20.16.0

BUT In my earlier projects the same operations don’t cause error. I found difference in file /Users/…/node_modules/@solana-developers/helpers/dist/index.js in current (version 2.4) and previous projects (version 2.2).

And If I change file index.js in current project with index.js from older project, everything works (no errors).

What’s wrong with my current index.js? What should I do to make it work without this exchanges?
