General

I ran it as per the Deploying Your First Bitcoin Dapp process, but I get the following error with the command

dfx deploy --network=ic basic_bitcoin --argument '(variant { Testnet })'

Did I miss something?

Try running the following in the examples git repository:

git submodule update --init --recursive

This will fetch the missing dependencies. I’ll update the tutorial docs to mention that, thanks for reporting this.

I’m getting another error.

In the basic_bitcoin example, despite this being enabled in dfx.json

“bitcoin”: {
“enabled”: true,
“nodes”: [
“127.0.0.1:1844”
],

when I run dfx start --background I get

Running dfx start for version 0.12.1
Using the default definition for the 'local' shared network because /Users/user/.config/dfx/networks.json does not exist.
Dashboard: http://localhost:56516//dashboard

And then on Candid I get this error:

Call was rejected:
Request ID: 712e1282edb7c3a8731caa265a8b8bf9458618a56c89610eb64495e492ef0040
Reject code: 4
Reject text: The bitcoin API is not enabled on this subnet.

The local bitcoin network is saying

Any idea what is causing this?

TLDR: This PR fixes it, do the same to your project.

When we moved to system-wide dfx, we decided that project-specific settings (like the "enabled": true you have in your project’s dfx.json) only work if you run a project-specific dfx start. To have a project-specific dfx start, you have to define the local network in your project’s dfx.json as well, not just the defaults.

Also, when I updated the examples for the latest version of dfx, I forgot to include the project-specific network definitions. I’m sorry for that, and I’m fixing it in this PR.
