Sui Move build/test fails for devnet

[FrankC01]

With envs set to devnet

sui client chain-identifier
a63d14dc

Create Move.toml

[package]
name = "suiparm"
edition = "2024" # edition = "legacy" to use legacy (pre-2024) Move
license = "Apache 2.0"           # e.g., "MIT", "GPL", "Apache 2.0"

[environments] 
devnet = "a63d14dc"

# [dependencies]
# Sui = { git = "https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui.git", subdir = "crates/sui-framework/packages/sui-framework", rev = "framework/devnet" }

[addresses]
# suiparm = "0x0"


[dev-dependencies]
# The dev-dependencies section allows overriding dependencies for `--test` and
# `--dev` modes. You can introduce test-only dependencies here.
# Local = { local = "../path/to/dev-build" }

[dev-addresses]
# The dev-addresses section allows overwriting named addresses for the `--test`
# and `--dev` modes.
# alice = "0xB0B"

Try to test or build

fastfrank@~/frankc01/sui-parm $ sui move test -e devnet
Environment `devnet` is not present in Move.toml

Expected Result

Expect to build or test succesfully

Actual Result

Error

Environment `devnet` is not present in Move.toml

Thank you for opening this issue, a team member will review it shortly. Until then, please do not interact with any users that claim to be from Sui support and do not click on any links!

Hey @FrankC01,

Ideally, you'd want to move to the new package system. https://docs.sui.io/references/package-managers/package-manager-migration

The issue with that Move.toml is that it contains an [addresses] section which is considered legacy style package. If you remove that + the dev-dependencies and dev-addresses (which do not exist in the new pkg system anymore), it should
work.

[package]
name = "suiparm"
edition = "2024" # edition = "legacy" to use legacy (pre-2024) Move
license = "Apache 2.0"           # e.g., "MIT", "GPL", "Apache 2.0"

[environments] 
devnet = "a63d14dc"

Hi @stefan-mysten
I had to delete the ~/.move folder as well but working now... thanks

That is strange. Do you happen to still have the error / issue you saw? Maybe it can help us reproduce - the folder should be just fine when moving to the new system.

What if we want to use dependencies for the devnet ? cause is use dependencies i still getting the error @stefan-mysten

@stefan-mysten
It may be because it was the OLD .move folder? Does test/build re-build that folder everytime?

[stefan-mysten]

Does test/build re-build that folder everytime?

No, that folder is used for saving whatever dependencies it downloads from GitHub. The new pkg system has a slight variation on how it does things, but it should be compatible with whatever existed there before.

Can you paste your Move.toml file so that we can check what's going? @vinnugollakoti

This seems unlikely to me, but it's possible that what's happening is that your (implicit) dependencies don't have devnet defined, so you need to add overrides. Try adding

[dep-overrides.devnet]
sui = { system = "sui", override = true, use-environment = "testnet" }
std = { system = "std", override = true, use-environment = "testnet" }

You may also need to disable implicit dependencies for this, and add them explicitly:

[package]
...
implicit-dependencies = false

[dependencies]
sui = { system = "sui", override = true }
std = { system = "std", override = true }

Let me know how this goes - we may need to think harder about how to handle the implicit dependencies for non-standard environments.

Hey guys, I got a similar error when trying to build (sui move build) any of the examples from here

Your active environment `devnet` is not present in `Move.toml`, so you cannot publish to `devnet`.

            - If you want to create a temporary publication on `devnet` and record the addresses in an ephemeral file, use the `test-publish` command instead.

                sui client test-publish --help

            - If you want to publish to `devnet` and record the addresses in the shared `Publications.toml` file, you will need to add the following to `Move.toml`:

                [environments]
                devnet = "3d6c67b7"

Am I missing something?

@lollobene
What does your Move.toml look like?
