Cannot get proper policy hash from policy

[huths0lo]

In fact to add to this, I just did another test. I went back and set my output with the assets (the ones being minted in the tx) to the same policy id hash that gets generated, and this time the tx went through. The big challenge here, is that even if I use the same keys, every time I restart my python interpreter, the policy hash changes.

Without restarting my interpreter, I was able to burn the same assets I created. So I just need to find a way to either extract the policy id from the keys correctly, or just be able to load my policy id directly, instead of using the pycardano functions.

aka policy_id = 'abcede'
instead of policy_id = policy.hash() (of which policy was generated with pycardano functions)

I was able to work around it by skipping all the steps that generate the policy info, and instead use this single command to read in the json contents of the policy script.

policy = InvalidHereAfter.from_dict(raw_tx['mint_script'])

Hi @huths0lo , in most cases, minting policy should be generated only once, after which the policy id should be loaded from somewhere deterministic, e.g. file, environment variable. It is better to separate the code into two parts, where the first part generates the policy, and the second uses that policy to mint and burn tokens. You can use to_dict function of a native script policy to convert it to a dictionary that could be saved as a json file, and use from_dict to restore the policy from a json.
