Lesson 11: NFT AttributeError: Final argument must be a dict of transaction parameters that includes a from field specifying the address to deploy from

I came across the following error when running cmd brownie run scripts/deploy_and_create.py --network rinkeby on 10:18:23 time line of the tutorial:

mbp:nft-demo mac$ brownie run scripts/deploy_and_create.py --network rinkeby

    if network.show_active() in LOCAL_BLOCKCHAIN_ENVIRONMENTS:
        return accounts[0]
    if id:
        return accounts.load(id)
    if network.show_active() in config["networks"]:
        return accounts.add(config["wallets"]["from_key"])
    return None

And an example of .env:

export PRIVATE_KEY=0xaxaxa
export WEB3_INFURA_PROJECT_ID=a7ceaxaxax
export ETHERSCAN_TOKEN=xxxaxax

Glad to hear any suggestions 😁

Hello @moonwake769 this is extremely weird because your syntax appears to be ok as you can see here so I think something is wrong with your brownie.. Please try this:

1. create a new virtualenv for python and install eth-brownie on it.
2. activate the virutalenv
3. delete the build folder and compile again.
4. try to run the code again.

Of course, just updated my first message in this discussion 👍
For convenience, here is the copy of it:

from brownie import accounts, network, config

LOCAL_BLOCKCHAIN_ENVIRONMENTS = [
    "development",
    "ganache",
    "hardhat",
    "local-ganache",
    "mainnet-fork",
]

def get_account(index=None, id=None):
    if index:
        return accounts[index]
    if network.show_active() in LOCAL_BLOCKCHAIN_ENVIRONMENTS:
        return accounts[0]
    if id:
        return accounts.load(id)
    if network.show_active() in config["networks"]:
        return accounts.add(config["wallets"]["from_key"])
    return None

In addition to it, I just tried to run brownie run scripts/deploy_and_create.py by deploying the contract on ganache network. Deployed successfully. So the problem might not be with the brownie.

Ok now I know what the problem exactly is, look you are trying to develop to Rinkeby, which is not in LOCAL_BLOCKCHAIN_ENVIRONMENTS, you are not providing neither and id or an index, so the return is:

if network.show_active() in config["networks"]:
        return accounts.add(config["wallets"]["from_key"])

But the if statement says if the network is on your brownie-config, and as you can see you don't have rinkeby on your brownie-config:

so the get_account function is always returning None and that's why you have this error.

You must add rinkeby to the networks, something like this:

rinkeby:
    verify: True

Or you can change the return of get_account as well.

give it a try.

Nice catch 😸 You are right about helpful_scripts.py. I watched the video not carefully and missed the last return statement by simply copy-past the function from aave-brownie lesson. So I changed the get_account() function:

from:

def get_account(index=None, id=None):
    if index:
        return accounts[index]
    if network.show_active() in LOCAL_BLOCKCHAIN_ENVIRONMENTS:
        return accounts[0]
    if id:
        return accounts.load(id)
    if network.show_active() in config["networks"]:
        return accounts.add(config["wallets"]["from_key"])
    return None

to:

def get_account(index=None, id=None):
    if index:
        return accounts[index]
    if network.show_active() in LOCAL_BLOCKCHAIN_ENVIRONMENTS:
        return accounts[0]
    if id:
        return accounts.load(id)
    return accounts.add(config["wallets"]["from_key"])

Thanks a lot @cromewar

Lesson from this discussion: always watch carefully every second from any tutorial.

I'm glad it helped ;)
