Account Configuration

Taqueria provides an easy way to define and fund accounts at the project level.

The default Taqueria config.json provides 5 accounts as shown here:

    "accounts": {
        "bob": {
            "balance": {
                "amount": "3_000_000_000",
                "units": "mutez"
            }
        },
        "alice": {
            "balance": {
                "amount": "3_000_000_000",
                "units": "mutez"
            }
        },
        "john": {
            "balance": {
                "amount": "3_000_000_000",
                "units": "mutez"
            }
        },
        "jane": {
            "balance": {
                "amount": "3_000_000_000",
                "units": "mutez"
            }
        },
        "joe": {
            "balance": {
                "amount": "3_000_000_000",
                "units": "mutez"
            }
        }
    },

You may define as many accounts as you need.

It can be useful to name the accounts to represent different user roles for your contract. For example, an nft contract might have an artist and collector account which could be used in automated tests.

The account balance represents the target balance for those accounts. The environment plugins will provide a mechanism to instantiate and maintain their balance.

For example, with the flextesa plugin during the start sandbox task, it will automatically instantiate the named accounts and ensure they have the target balance.

Since this is specific to the developer's sandbox, these accounts are in the config.local... file for the sandbox environment.

    "accounts": {
        "bob": {
            "encryptedKey": "edpkurPsQ8eUApnLUJ9ZPDvu98E8VNj4KtJa1aZr16Cr5ow5VHKnz4",
            "publicKeyHash": "tz1aSkwEot3L2kmUvcoxzjMomb9mvBNuzFK6",
            "secretKey": "unencrypted:edsk3RFfvaFaxbHx8BMtEW1rKQcPtDML3LXjNqMNLCzC3wLC1bWbAt"
        },
        "alice": {
            "encryptedKey": "edpkvGfYw3LyB1UcCahKQk4rF2tvbMUk8GFiTuMjL75uGXrpvKXhjn",
            "publicKeyHash": "tz1VSUr8wwNhLAzempoch5d6hLRiTh8Cjcjb",
            "secretKey": "unencrypted:edsk3QoqBuvdamxouPhin7swCvkQNgq4jP5KZPbwWNnwdZpSpJiEbq"
        },
        "john": {
            "encryptedKey": "edpktt6t2ENhxiQqun6bXPPWC6tFVvNPTDRh1gEPGX4BgDgbDnmGzP",
            "publicKeyHash": "tz1Zwoh1QCVAvJ4sVTojMp9pLYp6Ji4NoZy6",
            "secretKey": "unencrypted:edsk3Un2KRUUoWZufi914HQem96ejVFnkyD8GXRPUSkgqy5etsYXEN"
        },
        "jane": {
            "encryptedKey": "edpkvS6TDSWcqqj3EJi3NRrCMyN7oNw1B3Hp37R19tMThqM8YNhAuS",
            "publicKeyHash": "tz1aHUAC4oviwJuZF1EvVSvFz7cu9KMNYBph",
            "secretKey": "unencrypted:edsk3UkdS1UBfTBkMAoFxmfdmUHmCdNhTzDJ1cSJuZhU1b6k6fZZoQ"
        },
        "joe": {
            "encryptedKey": "edpkuT1QYPYbLLQz9dXhQS33ncsixxeGHbNGmntPTR4VBbWmskHPrV",
            "publicKeyHash": "tz1MVGjgD1YtAPwohsSfk8i3ZiT1yEGM2YXB",
            "secretKey": "unencrypted:edsk3Un2FU9Zeb4KEoATWdpAqcX5JArMUj2ew8S4SuzhPRDmGoqNx2"
        }
    }

For other environment types, the taquito plugin has the instantiate and fund tasks to manually maintain these accounts.

note

It is planned to improve the automation around this.
