Ropsten Testnet deprecated

[Michele971]

Hi guys,
Ropsten testnet has been deprecated so, when we run on ETH-live, how can we set a new Ethereum testnet?

Actually, If I try to run on Ropsten, default, the error is:
Error: bad response (status=410, headers={"server":"awselb/2.0","date":"Thu, 06 Oct 2022 07:23:16 GMT","content-type":"application/json; charset=utf-8","content-length":"253","connection":"close"}, body="{\n \"id\":null,\n \"error\": {\n \"code\":-32601,\n \"message\":\"Network decommissioned, please use Goerli or Sepolia instead\",\n \"data\": {\n \"see\":\"https://blog.infura.io/post/deprecation-timeline-for-rinkeby-ropsten-and-kovan-testnets\"\n }\n }\n}\n", requestBody="{\"method\":\"eth_blockNumber\",\"params\":[],\"id\":49,\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\"}", requestMethod="POST", url="https://ropsten.infura.io/v3/84842078b09946638c03157f83405213", code=SERVER_ERROR, version=web/5.7.1)

I tried to 'workaround' this issue using the commandREACH_CONNECTOR_MODE=ETH-live ETH_NODE_URI=https://goerli.infura.io/v3/[my_key] but it didn't work.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance! :)

P.S.
Do you know any Ethereum testnet that has a good and efficient faucet?

You can connect to any network you want by setting these variables:

https://docs.reach.sh/networks/#p_60

Either in the environment or in the call to loadStdlib

[jeapostrophe]

Are you also calling setProviderByName('TestNet')?

[Michele971]

Yes, I'm calling it!
I don't know if it is important to you: I'm using RPC calls with python.

Now, when I wrote ETH-live which testnet am I using? Ropsten, right?

[jeapostrophe]

If you call that, then all default settings from the env are ignored. If you call setProviderByEnv then you can pass the rpc URL too

[Michele971]

Ok, got it!
It works! I set rpc("/stdlib/setProviderByEnv",{"ETH_NODE_URI":"https://goerli.infura.io/v3/[my_key]"}).

Many thanks!

Phew!
