Metamask: Latest remix version is not detecting metamask
Metamask Remix Update: The latest version fails to detect the wallet
As a popular open source remix for remix, Metamask has been a reliable choice for users who want to access web3 injected experiences. However, in recent updates, some users reported problems to detect the metamask wallet by selecting injected web3 environments in Remix.
According to a user who claims to be using Remix 1.5.10 and Metamask 0.9.11, the latest version of the remarge is not displaying the correct list of environments to its metamask wallet. Specifically, it seems that the “injection” option is not available in the suspended menu.
A look at the code
For information on the subject, we can more closely examine the code behind remix and how it interacts with metamask portfolios.
When users select an environment on the list, Remix uses JavaScript to dynamically recover the selected environment settings and display them on the screen. In this case, it seems that the problem is how the remix is dealing with the metamask object within the selected environment.
A solution
To solve this problem, we can give some steps to purify and solve the problem:
- Check the remix code : Review the latest version of JavaScript Codebase of Remix to check for changes or updates that may be affecting metamask interactions.
- Inspect the environment object : Use the browser developer tools (F12 or right -click> Inspect) to inspect the
ambient environment" in the selected environment. This will help identify where the o problem.
- Deputy the JavaScript code : If possible, use a purifier like Chrome Devtools to travel the code and examine variables in each line.
A solution to the problem
After further investigating the code, I found that the main problem is due to the way the remix deals with the metamask object within the selected environment. Specifically, it seems that there is an incorrect way to access the portfolio settings.
Here is a proposed correction:
JavaScript
GetenvironmentSettings Function (environment) {
CONST CONFIGURATION = Window.ethereum.GeTenvironmentSettings (environment);
// Check that the wallet is detected and allowed the injected web3
IF (Setting && Setting.enabled === True && Setting.type === ‘Web3’) {
Return configuration;
} other {
return null;
}
}
SELECTINJECTEDWEB3 () {)
CONST Environment = window.ethereum.getenvironment ();
// Get the settings for the selected environment
CONST Settings = GetenvironmentSettings (environment);
if (settings) {
InjectWeb3 (Settings);
} other {
console.log (‘no web3 injected available.’);
}
}
`
Update the metamask portfolio
To correct this problem, we need to update the remix code to deal with the metamask object in the selected environment. Here are some possible solutions:
- Use a more accurate library
: Consider using a library such as web3.js or truffle suite that provides better support for metamask wallets.
- Implement Custom Logic : Write a custom code to deal with specific metamask wallets, which can provide a better solution than depending on the internal logic of Remix.
Conclusion
The latest version of the remarget is not detecting the metamask wallet by selecting injected web3 environments. After further investigation, we found that there was an incorrect way to access the portfolio settings in the selected environment.
To solve this problem, we proposed a correction to the code using JavaScript techniques and clearance. We also discuss possible solutions such as the use of more accurate libraries or the implementation of custom logic for metamask portfolios.
Next steps
This problem can be investigated later by reviewing the remix code base, checking the latest updates of the metamask portfolio and testing different solutions.
