Lesson 5: unable to add account from .env

[cromewar]

Hello there I get a KeyError when trying to import the key from .env

This is my code:

from brownie import accounts, config

def deploy_simple_storage():
    # account = accounts[0]
    # print(account)
    # account = accounts.load("crome-account")
    # print(account)
    account = accounts.add(config["wallets"]["from_key"])
    print(account)


def main():
    deploy_simple_storage()

brownie-config.yaml file:

dotenv: .env
wallets:
  from_key: ${PRIVATE_KEY}

I have no idea why is not working, any help is appreciated.

Aditionally I had been reading the documentation when I noticed something. According to documentation there is not a parameter called "wallets" on the brownie-config.yaml which makes all even more confusing.

I solved it by changing the folder structure.

[cromewar]

Could you pals share for brownie-config.yaml?

[JamiDEV]

@mohammadbadshah deleting the build folder was the solution.

@cromewar & @JamiDEV I deleted the build folder and compiled again and still getting the same error? Please find my code along with my folders and terminal where I recompiled the build folder. Do you see anything in addition causing this?

[cromewar]

@Daruma1800 check your brownie-config.yaml to find any typos or something like that.

Hi @Daruma1800! your .env and brownie-config.yaml fils are in the test folder. Just move them to the root folder.

I am having the same issue. I tried deleting the build folder. And yes the yaml file is in the brownie_simple_storage folder. Could you advice what the issue may be?

the yaml code:

dotenv: .env
wallets:
  from_key: ${"PRIVATE_KEY"}

the deploy code:

from brownie import accounts, config


def deploy_simple_storage():
    # account = accounts[0]
    # print(account)
    # account = accounts.load("freecodecamp-account")
    # print(account)
    account = accounts.add(config["wallets"]["from_key"])
    print(account)


def main():
    deploy_simple_storage()

actually my error specifically is:

Answered my own question. I had PRIVATE_KEY in quotes in the yaml. lol
Merry Christmas!

Thank you all, it’s been running well now!
