Install does not work when hash algo is SHA2_256

@10thfloor,

After doing several tests and readings, I finally discovered the problem in my situation.

Currently cli flow is in version 0.21.0 and my installed version was different.

Make the test by updating your cli again:
https://docs.onflow.org/flow-cli/install

Thank you for reporting this, we will make sure to update the docs.

CLI already supports SHA2_256 and you can configure it as it is described here: https://docs.onflow.org/flow-cli/configuration/#advanced-format-1

So if you want to have it configured you can do so but you must manually change flow.json configuration file.

@sideninja So, is the default: ECDSA_P256 + SHA3_256 for keys, and anything else requires customization (using "advanced format") for keys entries in flow.json ?

Also, when using "advanced format" do you have to specify all properties, or can you omit defaults?
For example, is this a valid "advanced format" entry:

...

 {
    "hashAlgorithm": "SHA2_256",
    "context": {
          "privateKey": "333332967...etc"
    }
},

...

Yes, that is the default.

You have to specify all the properties although specifying just the ones that are not the default might work although not tested for this usecase.

Good morning everybody.

For me I still have the same error when deploying to testnet.

"testnet-account": {
      "address": "${FLOW_ADDRESS}",
      "keys": [
            {
                  "type": "hex",
                  "index": 0,
                  "signatureAlgorithm": "ECDSA_P256",
                  "hashAlgorithm": "SHA3_256",
                  "context": {
                        "privateKey": "${FLOW_PRIVATE_KEY}"
                   }
            }
      ]
}

I also did the test using SHA2_256

I created the user by cli, and activated through the link: https://testnet-faucet-v2.onflow.org/

@KesleyDavid new CLI version will warn you about the updates so you don't have a similar problem in the future.

Can we close this?

[cybercent]

@sideninja yes, can be closed
