Error: progressCb should be function---- encrypt.js

Hello friends,

Please I am having issues with the encrypt.js. While trying to run the script I am getting this error.

Error: progressCb should be function

---

Here is my code below:

const ethers = require("ethers");
const fs = require("fs-extra");
require("dotenv").config();

`async function main() {

const wallet = new ethers.Wallet(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY);
const encryptedJsonKey = await  wallet.encrypt( 
        process.env.PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD, 
        process.env.PRIVATE_KEY
    );
    console.log(encryptedJsonKey);
    // fs.writeFileSync("./.encryptedKey.json", encryptedJsonKey);

}
`

Hello guys

I finally got it,
In this line const encryptedJsonKey = await wallet.encrypt( ) . wallet.encrypt doesn't seem to be used anymore rather wallet.encryptSync(). That is what worked fro me , should anyone run into such issue then they can try this solution.

rgds.

thank you, had the same error

That great but this is for the newer version, if you want to use the former that didn't work you should have to install the older version of ethers, look up what version the lessen is using and change what you have in your package.json to it and then run yarn or npm install

There is a comment in the latest lesson code about this:

In later versions (^6.2.3 as of this commit) of etherjs, PRIVATE_KEY is inferred from wallet, so there is no need to
pass private key again.

So do:

const encryptedJsonKey = await wallet.encrypt(
           process.env.PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD
      )

There error is because the second argument is no longer expected to be your private key, but instead a callback function that is called during decryption with a number between 0 and 1, depending on the decryption progress. :) See link below:

o there is no need to
pass private key again.

This worked as well 👍
