Title: Solana: Test Example Not Working with Latest Anchor Version

Introduction

Solana, a popular decentralized application (dApp) platform, is known for its fast and scalable blockchain technology. However, issues can arise when testing or deploying dApps on the Solana network. In this article, we will explore an example where the “test example” is not working with the latest Anchor version.

Problem

We encountered an issue in our core-1 sample repository, which relies on the Anchor documentation and samples to illustrate how to deploy and test the application. The issue occurs when you try to run the test example, which requires certain dependencies that are no longer compatible with the new Anchor version.

Solution: Downgrade Anchor Version

To resolve this issue, we decided to downgrade Anchor version from 0.30.1 to 0.29.2. By doing so, we were able to re-enable the dependencies needed for our sample test to work properly.

Here are the steps we took:

• Update Anchor: We updated our package.json file in our base-1 repository to point to version 0.30.1.

• Rebuild and Test: After the update, we rebuilt our application using npm run build or yarn build. This ensured that all dependencies were reconnected with the new Anchor version.

Benefits of Downgrading

By downgrading the Anchor version, we gained access to the latest features and bug fixes without affecting the compatibility of our sample test. Additionally, this approach avoided potential conflicts between our application code and the Anchor documentation, which could have been caused by incompatibility or outdated information.

Conclusion

In conclusion, when running a Solana-based application such as basic-1, it is essential to keep track of the latest version numbers for dependencies. Downgrading the Anchor version can be a viable solution when issues arise with certain dependencies. By updating our repository and rebuilding our application, we were able to resolve the issue and ensure that our test case works correctly.

Example use case

Here is an updated package.json file in the base-1 repository:

{
"name": "base-1",
"version": "0.30.2",
"dependencies": {
"@solana/web3.js": "^5.9.17",
"
}
}

With this updated version, our test example should now work correctly on the latest Anchor version.
