Testnet faucet doesn't work?

Hi!
I tried to request some ADA from the faucet (Request funds to the faucet - Stake pool course) but I haven’t received any funds on my account. https://cardano-explorer.cardano-testnet.iohkdev.io/ shows only “SORRY, WE COULD NOT FIND ANY RESULTS MATCHING:” and when I run cardano-cli shelley query utxo --address $(cat payment2.addr) --testnet-magic 1097911063 I get as a result empty account:

What I should do? I tried to find an answer on the internet but I didn’t found anything.
Thanks.

Can u try the commands without shelley subcommand?

I get an error:
Invalid argument `query’
Usage: cardano-cli (Byron specific commands | Shelley specific commands | Miscellaneous commands)

But did u got the success message when u tried to request ADA for test? Can u try again?

I don’t have any success message just this:

No, when u asked in application for ADA; I saw in tutorial video that u should receive a successful message

Oh, ok - I received success message and I got a link to check transaction but there was an only message: SORRY, WE COULD NOT FIND ANY RESULTS MATCHING.

Sorry It seems, as u said, no ADA received… strange; I don’t know what could be the issue

You need to add --allega-era to your command, as testnet is in Allegra now.

Sounds like you also need to update your cardano-node and cardano-cli to be 1.24.2 or higher. The mentioned command syntax works only post 1.24.2, and nodes prior will not be able to sync further.

Thank you very much! I have one more question: if testnet is in Allegra which of config files should I use? From Allegra or from testnet? Cardano Configurations

Thanks

The page you referred to are name of the networks (agree-ably the nomen clature of some of them conflicts with the actual era), but since you’re using testnet network, you can stick to using config corresponding to testnet row.

Thanks now everything is clear and working!
