HardhatPluginError: Could not deploy contract. Check the network url in config. Is it responsive? about starknet-hardhat-plugin

[clacladev]

After a week of battles with docker, with remote VMs and other stuff, it seems that I found a way to make it work with the active environment. the only thing different this time around was that I used the latest latest version of python, the 3.10.3.
I also had to downgrade

cd hardhat/

brew install pyenv

# Install specific version of python and set it as local default
pyenv install 3.10.3
pyenv local 3.10.3

# Create a local venv
python -m venv .venv

# Activate it (execute this command for every terminal for the project)
source .venv/bin/activate

# Setup the python venv:
brew install gmp

# macOS with M1
CFLAGS=-I`brew --prefix gmp`/include LDFLAGS=-L`brew --prefix gmp`/lib pip3 install ecdsa fastecdsa sympy

# Install Cairo
pip install cairo-lang

# Install Starknet Devnet
pip install starknet-devnet

# Downgrade faulty package
pip install werkzeug==2.0.3

# Start devnet with persistent state (subsequent)
starknet-devnet \
  --dump-on transaction \
  --dump-path ~/.starknet_devnet \
  --load-path ~/.starknet_devnet

In another terminal:

# Compile
yarn hardhat starknet-compile contracts/public

# Test
yarn hardhat test

# Deploy
yarn hardhat starknet-deploy ExampleContract --starknet-network devnet --inputs "123"

# Deploy an account
yarn hardhat starknet-deploy-account --starknet-network devnet --wallet Deployer

And everything works!!

[FabijanC]

• What version of devnet are you using? How are you running it? Can you provide the devnet-side log you get?
• What version of cairo-lang are you using? I see it says you're using the active environment, but what's the cairo-lang installed in it?
• It might be useful to see your hardhat.config file.

[clacladev]

Devnet installed with venv and python 3.9 on macOS on M1.

starknet-devnet -v
0.1.19

cairo-compile -v
cairo-compile 0.8.0

hardhat.config.ts

import { HardhatUserConfig } from 'hardhat/types'
import '@shardlabs/starknet-hardhat-plugin'

/**
 * @type import('hardhat/config').HardhatUserConfig

const config: HardhatUserConfig = {
  starknet: {
    venv: 'active',
    network: 'devnet',
    wallets: {
      Deployer: {
        accountName: 'DeployerWallet',
        modulePath: 'starkware.starknet.wallets.open_zeppelin.OpenZeppelinAccount',
        accountPath: '~/.starknet_accounts',
      },
      Ringo: {

      Stella: {

  },
  networks: {
    devnet: {

[FabijanC]

You should be using Python <=3.8.9, as stated here: https://github.com/Shard-Labs/starknet-devnet#requirements
The last version of cairo-lang (0.8.0) introduced some features not supported by 3.9
And I believe 3.7 should work as well.

[clacladev]

I retested to install everything with python 3.7, which fails to install cairo-lang:

Then I cleaned everything and tried to install python 3.8.9, which is not compatible with Mac with M1:

And looking around it's because the M1 architecture is supported starting from python 3.9.1 onward.
So I am not able to have a working version of python, cairo and devnet due to everything not being compatible together.

[FabijanC]

Sorry to hear that, is using the dockerized Devnet an option for you?

[clacladev]

That is an option (unless issues arise there too), but I have the same issues with cairo-lang since it's compatible with python <= 3.8.9 and that version of python does not really work with M1.

I have to look if it's possible to create a docker dev environment where everything is installed there and I write code inside that docker image and so I don't have issues with Mac or M1 anymore...

[clacladev]

Ok I have tried to do use docker VMs to work around the issue:

1. running devnet using docker docker run -p 127.0.0.1:5000:5000 shardlabs/starknet-devnet (seems successfully)
2. I crated a docker dev environment (from docker desktop) which is a Debian machine which clones the repo of my codebase which I edit with VSCode; I installed cairo-lang which compiles correctly the contracts

Now I am trying to run yarn hardhat test, hoping that it uses the devnet in the other docker container. But I don't understand what is happening.

$ yarn hardhat test
yarn run v1.22.15
$ /com.docker.devenvironments.code/hardhat/node_modules/.bin/hardhat test

Ideas?

[clacladev]

As a test, I've also commented venv: 'active' line, so it would use the dockerised version of devnet (ok for me), but I get this non-error...

[FabijanC]

After running the container, can you reach the devnet inside of it with curl http://127.0.0.1:5000?
Also, can you print the log of the container using docker logs? It requires the name of the container, so you have to find it out with docker ps before that. Or if you run the container with docker run ... --name <NAME>, you can use that name.

[FabijanC]

Regarding the venv key of hardhat.config.ts, it only serves to specify how you want the plugin to run its internal Starknet commands (either using an environment with cairo-lang installed, or using the cairo-cli docker). It is important to distinguish between that cairo-cli docker image/container used by the plugin and the docker image/container that devnet can be packed in.

[clacladev]

It seems reachable from the outside

Sorry, for curling I meant actually curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/is_alive. Also thinking about it, don't you see the devnet log in the terminal where you ran it even without using docker logs? And what does the log say after running the test?

[clacladev]

It works

[FabijanC]

Ok, and what about the docker log after running the test?

[clacladev]

It's worth mentioning that I run the devnet docker image from the Mac terminal, not from inside the development environment docker VM.

If I run the curl command from inside the dev VM:

$ curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/is_alive
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 5000: Connection refused

When I run the tests (inside the dev VM) I get

$ yarn hardhat test

With no new log entry.

[FabijanC]

That answers your question. Your devnet instance is isolated from the dev VM. If you could somehow have both hardhat and devnet connect to the same network, that would help.

[clacladev]

So I was able to connect the two containers.

Now from the hardhat container is able to talk to the devnet:

curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/is_alive
Alive!!!

But if I run the tests, it does not succeed:

[FabijanC]

Well the devnet logs ought to be somewhere.

Also, did you consult the solution proposed here: https://discord.com/channels/793094838509764618/959449552027537438/959499063131263057 ?

[clacladev]

I mean that when I look inside the devnet logs, there is no new entry when I launch the yarn hardhat test command.

Also the link is not opening any conversation/message to me. It just sends me to the welcome channel (I am logged in, verified and part of the channel already).

[FabijanC]

The link (https://discord.com/channels/793094838509764618/959449552027537438) should be redirecting to the archived thread called VM dev machine on the dev-support channel of Starknet's Discord server. It's the thread were apparently you were active.

[FabijanC]

I mean that when I look inside the devnet logs, there is no new entry when I launch the yarn hardhat test command.

But the log from responding to curl is present? Also, are you running yarn hardhat test in the same terminal as curl?

[clacladev]

Yes the curl line gets logged.

But there is no entry for the yarn hardhat test.

And yes in the same terminal I run the curl and yarn hardhat test

PS: you see in the docker command I --network=container:pedantic_williamson to connect it to the container pedantic_williamson which is the one with the hardhat env.

[FabijanC]

Ok, I took a better look at your hardhat.config.ts file and the error log. Since your specification of venv: "active" is commented out, it is internally running commands using the pulled docker image (shardlabs/cairo-lang:0.8.0). Looking at the error log (Error: HardhatDocker._withCommonErrors), looks like there are issues in interacting with the image/container. Are you able to run hardhat starknet-compile and hardhat starknet-deploy?

[clacladev]

In the hardhat dev container, I checked out the git repo, so I definitely have all the files that need to be compiled there. But there's some docker issue...

Same kind of error when I try to deploy an account:

Deploying a contract also does not work:

$ yarn hardhat starknet-deploy VNChannel   --starknet-network devnet   --inputs "111 111 123"
yarn run v1.22.18
$ /com.docker.devenvironments.code/hardhat/node_modules/.bin/hardhat starknet-deploy VNChannel --starknet-network devnet --inputs '111 111 123'

I'd check this part of your error log:

  The path /com.docker.devenvironments.code/hardhat/contracts/public/VNChannel.cairo is not shared from the host and is not known to Docker.
  You can configure shared paths from Docker -> Preferences... -> Resources -> File Sharing.
  See https://docs.docker.com/desktop/mac for more info.

The thing is that the docker container that runs the Starknet commands is trying to access the files on your host machine, but can't reach them or doesn't have the permission to do so.

[clacladev]

It seems to be a docker issue. It should not go to the host machine. The files are check-out locally inside container. It is throwing the same error also when deploying an OpenZeppelin contract. So docker is also broken on macOS with M1.

I tried to use VirtualBox to also run a VM where to install a devnet and hardhat, but also VirtualBox is not compatible with M1...

[FabijanC]

So can you clarify, how many docker containers are there? Or virtual machines running?

[FabijanC]

@ccarnino Well after all the work put in, looks like cairo-lang 0.8.1 will be compatible with Python 3.9: https://github.com/starkware-libs/cairo-lang/releases/tag/v0.8.1

[clacladev]

yeah. I saw it earlier...
thanks anyway for the support!
