'default signer is required' when trying to do an SPL token transfer

Question

solana fams, so I just install spl-token 0.2.3, now when I try to do simple spl-token transfer via ledger I get this:

error: default signer is required, please specify a valid default signer by identifying a valid configuration file using the --config-file argument, or by creating a valid config at the default location of ~/.config/solana/cli/config.yml using the solana config command

but my config file exist!

➜ ls ~/.config/solana/cli/
config.yml

solana 1.15.2
spl-token 0.2.3

Answer 1

Try running solana config get for more information about your config. It should give you the default keypair in the "Keypair Path":

$ solana config get
Config File: /home/you/.config/solana/cli/config.yml
RPC URL: https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com
WebSocket URL: wss://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com/ (computed)
Keypair Path: /home/you/.config/solana/id.json
Commitment: confirmed

Otherwise, you may need to provide the full command that you're running to transfer tokens
