Lesson7: test_can_pick_winner fails because of "i have no idea"

[sl00k]

This is the error I am getting when I only run "assert lottery.balance() == 0". Seems like no payout is happening

This is what I get when I run " assert lottery.recentWinner() == account"

And this is what I get when I delete the build fodler before testing

hello @sl00k the reason because lottery.balance() == 0 don't pass is due to the account you are using, as the wallet which deploys the contract is the same as you pick as winner, the lottery balance will never be 0 because of this.

Regarding to the invalid literal for int() with base = 16 this happens when yo try to use a integer passing a string instead, for example int(' ', 16) could you please share here the code from Lottery.sol and helpful_scripts.py?

[sl00k]

the code is the same as here in the repo.
changing the time.sleep helped here. (and for the rinkeby test chain as well)

Nice I'm glad you solved the problem.
