Troubleshooting Cargo Generate Installation for Sway Smart Contract Deployment
When deploying a Sway Smart Contract, an essential step is to test the contract using cargo test. To facilitate this, we first need to generate the default test harness, which requires installing cargo generate. However, you might encounter errors during the installation process. Here’s how to resolve them.
Installing Cargo Generate
Begin by installing cargo generate using the following command:
cargo install cargo-generate |
Error Solutions
Error: Linker cc Not Found
The first error you might encounter an error stating Linker cc not found. This can be resolved by installing build-essential:
sudo apt install build-essential |
Error: openssl-sys V0.9.98 Build Failed
After fixing the linker cc error, you might encounter another error related to openssl-sys failing to build. Resolve this by installing the necessary libraries:
sudo apt install libssl-dev |
Final Steps
Once these issues are resolved, you can proceed with reinstalling cargo generate:
cargo install cargo-generate |
After successfully executing these steps, your development environment should be set up to test and deploy Sway Smart Contracts.
