Lesson 5: brownie command-line results in nothing

[Guanxinyuan]

Hi guys, when I run brownie accounts new good-account and brownie test result in nothing, but brownie accounts generate good-account actually works. I'm so confused now. Could anyone help me with this? I'm using Windows10. Thanks very much in advance!!!

Hello @Guanxinyuan
new is for importing an account using a private key.
generate is to create a new a account for ganache itself.

Please refer to these links in order to find more info about brownie accounts:

Thank you for your answer@cromewar!

I have just checked the link you provided (and the tutorial video as well). Both resources say that when running brownie accounts new , an inputting block should be popped out I will be asked to input the private key to make a new account. However, the case is that there is nothing popping out for me to input anything. Similar problem applies to brownie test. It's also very weird that other brownie commands work pretty well as expected.

Remember you should provide an ID: Means the name of the account you want to use, for example
