The command without --network ic gets a local wallet, which i dont think is useful. The command with --network ic gets no wallet :
dfx identity --network ic get-wallet
Please enter a passphrase for your identity: [hidden]
Decryption complete.
Error: Failed to get wallet for identity ‘hmwcx-gwrbg-7rscj-aihzk-ddqua-426xw-rg62j-tfhse-rdxxu-32bef-bqe’ on network ‘ic’.
Caused by: Failed to get wallet for identity ‘hmwcx-gwrbg-7rscj-aihzk-ddqua-426xw-rg62j-tfhse-rdxxu-32bef-bqe’ on network ‘ic’.
Wallet not configured.
Diagnosis was added here.
Error explanation:
This command requires a configured wallet, but the combination of identity ‘hmwcx-gwrbg-7rscj-aihzk-ddqua-426xw-rg62j-tfhse-rdxxu-32bef-bqe’ and network ‘ic’ has no wallet set.
How to resolve the error:
To use an identity with a configured wallet you can do one of the following:

  • Run the command for a network where you have a wallet configured. To do so, add ‘–network ’ to your command.
  • Switch to an identity that has a wallet configured using ‘dfx identity use ’.
  • Configure a wallet for this identity/network combination: 'dfx identity --network set-wallet <wallet id

ah i see. the problem is you are using the wrong identity to make the calls. you need to use the identity that controlls the wallet which is hmwcx-gwrbg-7rscj-aihzk-ddqua-426xw-rg62j-tfhse-rdxxu-32bef-bqe. ishowed how to check before.

this command should list all the identities u have

dfx identity list
dfx identity --network ic list

check for both local and live.

try to change into the default one first with

dfx identity use default
dfx identity --network ic use default

try both local and live to be safe

then try the fix from earlier again

This helped! I was able to deploy with --no-wallet. Thank you! However, Im not about to interact with the wallet. deploying works fine now without wallet. This is what I get when it comes to wallet:
dfx wallet --network ic balance
Error: Failed to setup wallet caller.
Caused by: Failed to setup wallet caller.
Failed to get wallet canister caller for identity ‘default’ on network ‘ic’.

And i tried to sel the wallet with this:

dfx identity --network ic set-wallet o3vsw-mqaaa-aaaan-qaa3a-cai

sorry it was this dfx identity --network deploy-wallet o3vsw-mqaaa-aaaan-qaa3a-cai

That’s pretty bad. Did you ever try to manually edit this file? Dfx should never leave this file in a broken state. Right now, I think you would have to go in and fix this file manually. It has the following structure:

{
  "identities": {
    "<identity name>": {
      "<network name>": "<wallet id>"
    }
  }
}

So for your case that would be

{
  "identities": {
    "default": {
      "ic": "o3vsw-mqaaa-aaaan-qaa3a-cai"
    }
  }
}
