Shelley command failed: transaction calculate-min-fee

Staking & Delegation Operate a Stake Pool

Hi Guys,

I accidentally deleted the tx.raw and tx.signed in my folder and now it seems I can’t generate a tx as I am getting the following error:

Shelley command failed: transaction calculate-min-fee Error: tx.raw: tx.raw: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory).

What’s the best way to solve this problem? Thanks for your help!

That shouldn’t be a problem if you start over the whole transaction again: start with build a " raw" transaction: cardano-cli transaction build-raw –tx-in xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx#0 --tx-out (cat payment.addr)+0 --tx-out (cat payment.addr)+0 --ttl 0 --fee 0 --out-file tx.raw
It has to define a new tx.raw.

Hi there,

Thanks for helping out I think you’ve solved my problem! Just want to clarify one more thing as I’m trying to create a tx.draft first using the following:

cardano-cli shelley transaction build-raw
–tx-in #
–tx-out $(cat payment.addr)+0
–ttl 0
–fee 0
–out-file tx.draft
–certificate-file pool-registration.cert
–certificate-file delegation.cert

That produces a tx.draft file. Then I run the following command:

cardano-cli shelley transaction calculate-min-fee
–tx-body-file tx.raw
–tx-in-count 1
–tx-out-count 1
–mainnet
–witness-count 1
–byron-witness-count 0
–protocol-params-file protocol.json

I’m then getting the: Error: tx.raw: tx.raw: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

I think I got something confused with the filenames etc? I guess if there is no tx.raw file to begin with I need to replace change the output file in the first step from tx.draft to tx.raw in order for the second command to work properly?

Many thanks for your help!

Hi,

As u can see when you built the tx you saved as tx.draft and when you are traying to run the 2nd script u are calling for tx.raw file which doesn’t exist because it was saved as tx.draft

1st script save as

eg:

–out-file tx.raw instead tx.draft

cardano-cli transaction build-raw
–tx-in 4e3a6e7fdcb0d0efa17bf79c13aed2b4cb9baf37fb1aa2e39553d5bd720c5c99#1 \
–tx-out (cat payment2.addr)+100000000 \ --tx-out (cat payment.addr)+0
–ttl 0
–fee 0
–out-file tx.raw

Thx

Hi Alexd1985,

Thanks for the clarification. Will use the tx.raw for both scripts from now on!

Cheers!
