Issues w/ anchor test

[farzaa]

Hey there! On anchor-cli 0.18.0.

Trying to run anchor test but when I do so, I get hit with:

Failed to run test: ts-mocha -p ./tsconfig.json -t 1000000 tests/**/*.ts: No such file or directory (os error 2).

So, I then did npm install ts-mocha -g to see if that would change anything.

Running the test again, I get

node: --dns-result-order= is not allowed in NODE_OPTIONS.

Just running a boilerplate hello-world project from the docs via anchor init helloworld.

I also tried doing anchor init helloworld --javascript, then do anchor test, and still get: node: --dns-result-order= is not allowed in NODE_OPTIONS.

Are you using the npm package? Install 0.18.2, see #928

[farzaa]

Ah, I installed v0.18.0 via:

cargo install --git https://github.com/project-serum/anchor --tag v0.18.0 anchor-cli --locked

As done here.

BTW -- my node version: v16.0.0.

What's the path to installing v0.18.2 to test this out? Or, is the issue my version of node?

[tomlinton]

It looks like the version hasn't been bumped, so the same command without the --tag v0.18.0 and with --force:

cargo install --git https://github.com/project-serum/anchor anchor-cli --force

[farzaa]

So, this gives me:

Caused by:

Looks like it still tried to install v0.18.0 though!

As a sanity check, tried the installation command here and it worked out fine.

[armaniferrante]

@farzaa can you try adding the --locked flag.

[farzaa]

Hey! @armaniferrante -- tried both

cargo install --git https://github.com/project-serum/anchor anchor-cli --force --locked

and

cargo install --git https://github.com/project-serum/anchor anchor-cli --locked

But each time it starts installing v0.18.0.

[tomlinton]

But each time it starts installing v0.18.0.

Yep that's fine, it is because the version hasn't been bumped in the repository yet. The installed version you end up with will have the fix.

[farzaa]

This worked out for me :)

cargo install --git https://github.com/project-serum/anchor anchor-cli --locked
anchor init aproject --javascript
cd aproject
anchor test

As a side note -- I run and we're putting together a Solana + Anchor course. Should I tell people to use the install command above vs what's in the docs rn?

Ty :).

[ElvisWong]

Got the same issue with @farzaa. I'm a newbie to anchor and just encounter the same issue with #925. I'm running this command

cargo install --git https://github.com/project-serum/anchor --tag v0.18.2 anchor-cli --locked

    Updating git repository `https://github.com/project-serum/anchor`
error: failed to find tag `v0.18.2`

[tomlinton]

Run cargo install --git https://github.com/project-serum/anchor anchor-cli --locked

[dahifi]

If you installed Anchor CLI from npm and create a project, you'll need to edit package.json "@project-serum/anchor": "^0.18.0",

Otherwise use the Rust CLI.

hey there!
I followed these instructions step by step but cargo build failed and tried the possible solutions listed above but it still keeps failing

My PC is running on Ubuntu 20.04

Edit1: there was also these on terminal:

$HOST = x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
$TARGET = x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
openssl-sys = 0.9.66

Edit2[SOLVED]: for some unknown reasons my OpenSSL folder got removed/deleted and had to reinstall the dev package with
$ apt install pkg-config libssl-dev and that did fix the build error.
hope this helps someone like me

npm install -g ts-mocha typescript works for me. #942

[fanatid]

--dns-result-order is fixed in #928

[Eliascm17]

Got Failed to run test: mocha -t 1000000 tests: no such file or directory (os error 2) when running anchor test and running npm i -g mocha fixed it for me.

[katopz]

modify Anchor.toml to use npx fixed it for me

[scripts]
test = "npx ts-mocha -p ./tsconfig.json -t 1000000 tests/**/*.ts"

[pano-skylakis]

modify Anchor.toml to use npx fixed it for me

[scripts]
test = "npx ts-mocha -p ./tsconfig.json -t 1000000 tests/**/*.ts"

Using yarn works as well :)

[scripts]
test = "yarn ts-mocha -p ./tsconfig.json -t 1000000 tests/**/*.ts"

[ali-ahari-hashemi]

cargo install --git https://github.com/project-serum/anchor anchor-cli --locked
anchor init aproject --javascript
cd aproject
anchor test

This fixed it for me

[YuheiNakasaka]

In case of using --javascript option, I changed mocha command in Anchor.toml tonode_modules/mocha/bin/mocha and it worked.

[scripts]
test = "node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha -t 1000000 tests/"

[fanatid]

@YuheiNakasaka please read about npx. https://medium.com/@maybekatz/introducing-npx-an-npm-package-runner-55f7d4bd282b

npm install -g ts-mocha typescript works for me. #942

npm install -g ts-mocha typescript mocha

[dataXBT]

npm install -g ts-mocha typescript works for me. #942

npm install -g ts-mocha typescript mocha

worked for me after previously having faulty connection issues with node as well
