🎮 Algorand Coding Challenge: Fix The Bug 🐞!

🚩 Challenge 2: Why Isn't the Code Running?! 😡

I cloned this Algorand project but the code doesn't run! What is going on???

This project was created with the TEALScript AlgoKit template and inside of contracts/algorand-puzzle-2.algo.ts file, there is a simple smart contract with one method that simply returns a string value when called. The application client used to deploy/call the smart contract is already generated inside of contracts/clients/AlgorandPuzzle2Client.ts and the test defined in __test__/algorand-puzzle-2.test.ts is accurately written.

In short, all of the code inside of this project is correct, so unlike the name of this campaign "Fix The Bug", there is no need to change the codebase to solve this problem.

However, if you try and run the test file with npm run test after cloning this repo, the test will fail and give this error: sh: tealscript: command not found.

Find out what is wrong and Fix the problem.

AlgoKit TEALScript Template Information

Build Contract

npm run build will compile the contract to TEAL and generate an ABI and appspec JSON in ./contracts/artifacts and a algokit TypeScript client in ./contracts/clients.

npm run compile-contract or npm run generate-client can be used to compile the contract or generate the contract separately.

Run Tests

npm run test will execute the tests defined in ./__test__

Lint

npm run lint will lint the contracts and tests with ESLint.
