SendTransactionError: failed to send transaction: Transaction simulation failed: Error processing Instruction 0: incorrect program id for instruction

Question

I am trying to create associated token account. Token mint works fine. The error is thrown when trying to create token account.

Here's the code:

async function mintToken(
    connection: web3.Connection,
    payer: web3.Keypair,
    userAddress: web3.PublicKey
) {
    const tokenMint = await spl.createMint(
        connection,
        payer,
        userAddress,
        userAddress,
        8
    );
    console.log("Token mint: ", tokenMint.toBase58());

    const userTokenAddress = await spl.createAssociatedTokenAccount(
        connection,
        payer,
        tokenMint,
        userAddress,
        {
            commitment: "finalized",
        }
    );
    console.log("user token address: ", userTokenAddress.toBase58());
}

Answer 1

Try setting up your connection like this, where it explicitly sets the commitment to "confirmed":

const connection = new Connection(clusterApiUrl("devnet"), "confirmed")

The issue may be that createAssociatedTokenAccount is getting called before the network recognizes that tokenMint has been created.

Alternatively, you could also try setting the "commitment" in the createMint function like you have with createAssociatedTokenAccount

Answer 2

Which spl-token version are you using? createAssociatedTokenAccount seems outdated.

This is sample code for creating ATA:

  {
    let ata = await getAssociatedTokenAddress(
      mintPubkey, // mint
      alice.publicKey, // owner
      false // allow owner off curve
    );
    console.log(`ata: ${ata.toBase58()}`);

    let tx = new Transaction();
    tx.add(
      createAssociatedTokenAccountInstruction(
        feePayer.publicKey, // payer
        ata, // ata
        alice.publicKey, // owner
        mintPubkey // mint
      )
    );

    console.log(`create ata txhash: ${await connection.sendTransaction(tx, [feePayer])}`);
  }
