I'm on a Windows machine and would like to use cardano-cli to interact with the Cardano network. I have Daedalus running which is running an instance of cardano-node. In order for the CLI to find the node, I have to specify the CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH environment variable to point to the named Windows pipe (for example, \\.\pipe\cardano-node-mainnet.15992.0).

The problem is that every time Daedalus is closed and re-opened, it will use a different named pipe. Therefore, I need to update the CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH each time.

Is there a way to specify the Windows named pipe for Daedalus such that it would be static?

It's not possible to configure the pipe name used by Daedalus.

But you could use powershell to find it. Something like:

$Env:CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH = "\\.\pipe\cardano-node-mainnet.$( (Get-Process -Name daedalus).Id ).0"
