How to generate new wallets in anchor typescript tests

Question

I'm writing some unit tests and want to test that a user cannot update data on a PDA created by another user. How can I get "another user?" I'm creating the first user:

const provider = anchor.AnchorProvider.env()
anchor.setProvider(provider)

Then

await program.methods
        .createPda('data')
        .accounts({
          user: provider.wallet.publicKey,
        })
        .rpc()

Then I want to call updatePda with another wallet like so:

await program.methods
        .updatePda('NEW DATA')
        .accounts({
          user: another_provider.another_wallet.publicKey,
        })
        .rpc()

Is this doable in anchor? Do I need a new wallet on the same provider, or do I need an entirely new provider?

Answer 1

Another user in your case is any Keypair

You can generate another Keypair using:

const user1 = anchor.web3.Keypair.generate();
const user2 = anchor.web3.Keypair.generate();

Then you can call updatePda with user1.publicKey
