Metamask TestRPC shows 0 Ether while connecting to Ganache- CLI

Question

I've gone through various Q/A(s) of the problem of ganache-cli and metamask not linking but after trying all the solutions, still doesn't work for me. As soon as I type ganache-cli in windows cmd prompt and many private keys are displayed with fake accounts.

My truffle-config.js file-

  // See <http://truffleframework.com/docs/advanced/configuration>
  // for more about customizing your Truffle configuration!
  networks: {
    development: {
      host: "127.0.0.1",
      port: 8545,
      network_id: "*" // Match any network id
    },
    develop: {
      port: 8545
    }
  }
};

Using metamask I/ve tried various combinations of TestRPC URL, but none of them work. Also, I've tried connecting localhost:8545 given in list, still doesn't work.

I'm tryng triffle pet shop tutorial, When the GUI opens in browser and I click on adopt, nothing happens.

Answer 1

1. First, switch network to another network and try to reconnect again to ganache network(http://127.0.0.1:8545).

2. Make sure While you connecting to matamask using ganache, you have set up a connection like below :

3. Then you need to import accounts in metamask using private keys provided in ganache. You can see I already imported account that is shown as Account3 with 100ETH in the below image.

That's it. it works fine. Hope it will help you.

Answer 2

Click on your user picture, and then select import account from drop down in metamask. And then input the secret key (one that you get when you click the key button) from you gnache gui server.
