Lesson 5: General Private Key Question

[Daruma1800]

When inputting a private key into a env and then running the script to print that account how come the return doesn't provide the actual Private Key, it provides a completely different string? I am not getting an error just curious?

Share your code please?

Hello @Daruma1800 make sure you are importing correctly the private key and your get_account() is returning it from brownie.config.yaml (from key) other wise it would return one from ganache, so the private keys will mismatch.

@Daruma1800 also make sure to add dotenv in brownie.config.yaml file

yeah so my .env file isn't even highlighting export so I have no idea why it won't recognize the file, don't worry its a dumby account. Can you see below:

vscode has not highly by default for env files, you need to use extension.
did you tried using the export command directly on the terminal?
Is the problem solved now?
