🎮 Algorand Coding Challenge: Fix The Bug 🐞!

🚩 Challenge 4: How Do I Atomically Send 2 Payment Transactions? 🤔

I want to group 2 payment transactions using Algorand's atomic transfers feature but it's not working!

Inside of index.ts file, there is code that is trying to atomically group 2 payment transactions and synchronously send them using atomic transfers. The code is using the Algorand JavaScript SDK and the AlgoKit Utils TypeScript.

However, if you try to run the index.ts file after going into the challenge directory, opening Docker Desktop, and then running:

algokit bootstrap all
algokit localnet start
npm run start

it will fail and show this error: TypeError: signer is not a function

Find out what is wrong and fix the bug.

3. Install Node.JS / npm

Checkpoint 2: 💻 Set up your development environment

1. Fork this repository.
2. Clone the repository

cd [DIRECTORY_OF_YOUR_CHOICE]
git clone [FORKED_REPO_URL]

3. Open the cloned repository with the code editor of your choosing.
4. Setup Dev environment using AlgoKit. Run the below command inside of the challenge folder.

algokit bootstrap all

This command will install all dependencies and also generate a .env file for you.

😰 Are you struggling?

atc.addTransaction() takes in a transactionWithSigner object as the parameter. You can get the signer of an account using the makeBasicAccountTransactionSigner function from the Algorand JavaScript SDK.

Checkpoint 4: 💯 Submit your answer
