Error on building sdk with solita on anchor-lang:0.28.0

Question

No matching version is found by solita for anchor-cli: 0.28.0 on https://crates.io/crates/anchor-cli/versions , which gives error.

Answer 1

fix I'm using:

in cargo.toml inside programs/name_of_your_program change anchor-lang to 0.27.0

do NOT run anchor build

then run yarn solita, it will initialy start working but fail at the end

that will create anchor v27 binary inside /name_of_your_program/.crates/bin

avm use 0.28.0

where anchor

copy that binary to .crates/bin/anchor to replace the 27 that solita built there

then change back cargo.toml to 0.28.0

rerun yarn solita

Hopefully soon anchor crate.io will get published at that whole tedious process won't be needed

Download the anchor-cli : 0.28.0 binary and copy paste it in .crates folder which solita creates then run yarn solita again.

You can download the binary either using avm or from https://www.npmjs.com/package/@coral-xyz/anchor-cli?activeTab=code
