Local changes needed to run lobster-contribute.sh

[bryanyee]

Hi, I'm documenting two local changes I made in order to run the lobster-contribute.sh script. Hopefully this helps others! I'm using a Mac, so I'm not sure if other environments would have had similar issues.

Full script signature (run from scripts folder):

./lobster-contribute.sh <my_utxo> <lobster_script_utxo> <my_payment_address_path> <my_payment_signing_key_path> <old_counter> <new_counter> <old_votes>

Changes needed:

Ensure that the CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH is correct in the script files. Two options:

• Remove the export CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH line in shell scripts, since it's likely already set in .bashrc or .zshrc.
• Or, set CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH to the correct location for your node.socket file.
• This is needed in lobster-contribute.sh, lobster-deploy.sh, lobster-mint-nft.sh, mainnet-query-protocol-parameters.sh, and mainnet-utxo-at.sh

Ensure you can run cardano-cli.

• There may be multiple ways to ensure that cardano-cli is available in the scripts. I just removed ./ in front on cardano-cli in the following scripts (assuming cardano-cli is already available in your $PATH):
  • lobster-contribute.sh, lobster-deploy.sh, lobster-mint-nft.sh, mainnet-query-protocol-parameters.sh, mainnet-script-address.sh, mainnet-utxo-at.sh, and policyId.sh

Use the cli to query the utxos at the script address:

# Option 1 - script
./mainnet-utxo-at.sh addr1w8433zk2shufk42hn4x7zznjjuqwwyfmxffcjszw5l2ulesdt3jff

# Option 2 - run CLI directly (I had some issues running the script)
cardano-cli query utxo \
--address addr1w8433zk2shufk42hn4x7zznjjuqwwyfmxffcjszw5l2ulesdt3jff \
--mainnet

The output should look like:

                           TxHash                                 TxIx        Amount

The utxo used for this vote is the one that has a really long entry in the table. Right now, it has the TxHash 85fef164485267ef2023bf3aee53036ef2b6c0ce4e8158913a5d759e7b7cda5b, but this will change over time.

From that entry, we can get the values:

• Old counter: 13501
• New counter: 13502
• Old votes: 318
