very frustrating, I can't update configs for existing candy machine, maybe this issue on devnet?

I managed to fix the issue manually in updating the code. The error come from free naming of the json file in your .cache folder (option -c when you created the machine, you must have put example as it's written in the documentation of the candy machine V2)

Rename the json file into : temp.json + Update the cacheName variable with "temp"

and everything should work.

cheers.

Go in your 'metaplex' directory and type

ts-node ./js/packages/cli/src/candy-machine-v2-cli.ts update_candy_machine \ -e devnet \ -k ../SeJTuDJf9xRGfLYMAVC7Gi2XL6GAjVNcVUNzWBBphiN.json \ -cp ../config.json \ -c example

instead of

ts-node ./metaplex/js/packages/cli/src/candy-machine-v2-cli.ts update_candy_machine \ -e devnet \ -k SeJTuDJf9xRGfLYMAVC7Gi2XL6GAjVNcVUNzWBBphiN.json \ -cp config.json \ -c example

The candy-machine-v2-cli.ts code is looking for the file ${env}-${cacheName}.json in the ./cache directory. In your case env=devnet (-e setting) and cacheName=example (-c setting) therefore if you have a valid devnet-example.json file in ./metaplex/.cache it should work.

this helped me fix the problem it seems like i was in the \metaplex-master\js\packages\cli\src directory and running the update command but when i transferred to 'metaplex' directory i had it working. it seems like it was .cache problem

I'm having this problem too and I tried the solutions above and the same error code above comes out. Are there any other solutions? Any help would be appreciated.

[gforcexx]

i recreated the .json file in the cache folder to look like this :

{ "program": { "uuid": "qPXk9m", "candyMachine": "qPXk9mPbqnwat1PNLm4qPXwat1PNV6tKmBHkqpwat1PNv" }, "items": {}, "env":"mainnet-beta", "cacheName":"temp" }

Am i doing something wrong ?
