Getting this error when trying to deploy to the IC: /main.mo:1.1-1.32: import error [M0011], canister alias "ledger" not defined this is how the I’m importing the ledger canister: import Ledger "canister:ledger"; Anyone see any obvious error?

I’m not sure what the error is but I find it easier to import a canisters from my type file and just use the service definition. Then you can have a set function to pass in the canister id.

Do you have an example of this that you could link? Thank you :pray:t5:

@quint nails it here: icp-canister/main.mo at main · aviate-labs/icp-canister · GitHub . If you need more of the ledger interface you can just add it to ledger.mo.

Definitely appreciate the assist! And I’ll be goin with this method if all else fails, but for some reason, i thought you could just import the ledger canister and begin using it without having to go through the trouble of creating an actor class for it and instantiating that actor class with the le…

@skilesare I’ve implemented the method for importing the ledger canister that you referenced here and got it running locally. Now all I need is the canister-id for the mainnet ledger canister so that i can use it to instantiate the actor. do you know where I can find it? I’m checking git hub but I’m…

Looking at your other post , the reason for the error is that you removed the ledger entry from your dfx.json, which is where dfx looks for your canister import. Mainnet canisters outside of your project don’t import the same way (yet), so for now you have to specify the canister id and define the ac…

I get this after I do your method? trapped explicitly: Panicked at ‘Deserialization Failed: “Fail to decode argument 0 from table0 to record { account : vec nat8 }”’, /ic/rs/rust_canisters/dfn_core/src/endpoint.rs:34:41" Any idea what this error is?

Just kidding, the answer is I was turning the principal ID to a blob and not doing the math conversion to an accountid then to a blob. Answer in here Enable Canisters to Hold ICP - #217 by jorgenbuilder

Strangely, even when you include the canister name in dfx.json, the VSCode Motoko plugin still says “canister alias … not defined”. But when I run dfx build in the terminal, I don’t get that compiler error.
