ScriptWitnessNotValidatingUTXOW error when submitting transaction

Question

I can send simple transactions to yoroi without any errors. However when I submit a transaction with NFT policy cardano-cli returns an error.

node version 1.30.1 (relay node)

system: ubuntu 20.4

        "artist": "artist",
        "description": "",
        "image": "ipfs://"
      }
    }
  }
}

create policy

cardano-cli address key-gen \
--verification-key-file policy/policy.vkey \
--signing-key-file policy/policy.skey

keyhash:

cardano-cli address key-hash --payment-verification-key-file policy/policy.vkey

policy script:

{
    "type": "all",
    "scripts": [
        {
            "type": "before",
            "slot": 42862090
        },
        {
            "keyHash": "keyhash",
            "type": "sig"
        }
    ]
}

address:

hash     0        5000000 lovelace + TxOutDatumHashNone

calculate fee:

cardano-cli transaction calculate-min-fee --tx-body-file keys/nfttx.raw --tx-in-count 1 --tx-out-count 2 --witness-count 2 --mainnet --protocol-params-file keys/protocol.json --byron-witness-count 0 

transaction:

sign transaction

cardano-cli transaction sign  --tx-body-file keys/nfttx.raw  --signing-key-file keys/payment.skey --mainnet  --out-file keys/tx.signed

error:

Command failed: transaction submit  Error: Error while submitting tx: ShelleyTxValidationError ShelleyBasedEraAlonzo (ApplyTxError [UtxowFailure (WrappedShelleyEraFailure (ScriptWitnessNotValidatingUTXOW (fromList [ScriptHash "keyhash"])))])

EDIT: I get the same error even when submitting a transaction without the invalidation of the policy script part.

Answer 1

Would you mind changing the

`"keyHash": "keyhash",

in the policy script with you key hash. You can generate key hash using

cardano-cli address key-hash --payment-verification-key-file policy.vkey

exact command will depend on the location of your key files.

After including this Key Hash in the policy script, the minting transaction must be signed by the corresponding signing ket(policy.skey). The transaction also has to be signed by the wallet which is paying the fee. Unless these two signing keys are proper the transaction will not get submitted.

Answer 2

I also got this error trying to mint a native token. In my case, adding the invalid-hereafter parameter to the cardano-cli transaction build-raw command fixed it. I made sure the value was the same slot number as the policy script before value.

I did not include the invalid-before parameter like the OP.
