connecting Infura failed

[yuwiggin]

I tried to deploy contract on ropsten network with truffle, metamask and infura. truffle migrate --network ropsten , but failed with the following error.

Using network 'ropsten'.

Unknown address - unable to sign transaction for this address: "0x6a07dFC88f9A027445621e80afdDc27Eabb23c4b"

My truffle.js is following:

var HDWalletProvider = require("truffle-hdwallet-provider");
var infura_apikey = "my_access_token_here";
var mnemonic = "twelve words for generating a serial ethereum address based on same seed";

module.exports = {
    networks: {
        development: {
            host: "localhost", // Connect to geth on the specified
            port: 8545,
            network_id: "*", // Match any network id
            gas: 4712388 // max gas
        },
        ropsten: {
            provider: new HDWalletProvider(mnemonic, "https://ropsten.infura.io/"+infura_apikey),
            network_id: 3,
            gas:  2123456
        },
        kovan: {
            provider: new HDWalletProvider(mnemonic, "https://kovan.infura.io/"+infura_apikey),
            network_id: 42,
            gas:  2123456
        }
    }
};

My truffle version is:

Truffle v3.4.11 (core: 3.4.11)
Solidity v0.4.15 (solc-js)

The 2_deploy_contracts.js is following:

var SafeMathLib = artifacts.require("./SafeMathLib.sol");
var TestToken = artifacts.require("./TestToken.sol");
var Tx = artifacts.require("./Tx.sol");

const initCoin = 11681168;
const tokenName = "Test@Ropsten";
const tokenSymbole = "tt";
let tokenIssuer = "0x6a07dFC88f9A027445621e80afdDc27Eabb23c4b";

const mFee = 10;
const bounty = 10000;
let creator = "0x4A224DEB89C3A98700502f623f5363882253bCDB";

module.exports =  function(deployer, network, accounts) {
    const amount = web3.toWei(10000000, 'ether');

    deployer.deploy(SafeMathLib); 
    deployer.link(SafeMathLib, TestToken);
    deployer.deploy(TestToken, initCoin, tokenName, tokenSymbole, {from: tokenIssuer, gas: 1333144})
        .then(() => deployer.deploy(Tx, TestToken.address, tokenIssuer, mFee, bounty, {
            from: creator,
            gas: 1333144
        })
    )
};

What Happened?

[7flash]

Currently, HDWalletProvider manages only one address at a time. It's the first address generated from the mnemonic. Both tokenIssuer and creator should be equal to this address.

[Shadowstep33]

@7flash is mainnet always the first address generated? Mostly wondering how to go about deploying to ropsten if this is the case

[kennblvnp]

does anyone have a solution to this one now? I am having the same problem.

I went to truffle console and check the eth.getAddress() its shows an address that I am not familiar with and it has 0 eth.

[Tusharsb]

The only solution that worked for me was to replace truffle-hdwallet-provider with rather truffle-privatekey-provider. So rather than using mnemonic I gave in my private key

[pau1m]

I had the same problem and worked around by creating a new provider with ethjs using web3 provider hook.

const sign = require('ethjs-signer').sign;
const HookedWeb3Provider = require("hooked-web3-provider");
...
networks: {
    rinkebyInfura: {
      provider: () => new HookedWeb3Provider({
        host: "https://rinkeby.infura.io/v3/" + infuraKey,
        transaction_signer: {
          hasAddress: (address, cb) => cb(null, true),
          signTransaction: (rawTx, cb) => cb(null, sign(rawTx, '0x' + contractOwnerPrivateKey)),
        }
      }),
      network_id: "4",
      gas : 5000000,
      from: contractOwner,
    },
}

Though I still had issues with Infura when trying to deploy more than one contract with truffle migrate.

You can use private keys instead of mnemonic. https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle-hdwallet-provider#private-keys

module.exports = {
  networks: {
    ropsten: {
      provider: function() {
        return new HDWalletProvider([
         process.env.METAMASK_PRIVATE_KEY_1,
         process.env.METAMASK_PRIVATE_KEY_2,
         process.env.METAMASK_PRIVATE_KEY_3,
         process.env.METAMASK_PRIVATE_KEY_4,
         process.env.METAMASK_PRIVATE_KEY_5
        ], process.env.INFURA_API_ROPSTEN_ENDPOINT, 0, 5)
      },
      network_id: 3,
      gas: 8000000
    }
  }
};

Any news on this?

It help me a lot ! Thank you so much
