Unable to retrieve Ripple Test account information from a js program

[proman121]

Hello All,

Trying to retrieve Ripple account information for a test account created on Ripple Test servers.

 

I created a test Ripple account using the following command, 

$curl -s -X POST https://faucet.altnet.rippletest.net/accounts [enter]

 

Quote

 

{"account":{"address":"rawQ2crN1F4y1U9YfSNxdNzoHFDgahySsg",

"secret":"shy5sVYpYzQKmB5C96TZRFPDuPg8S"},

"balance":10000

}

 

 

 

 

then i tried to retrieve the account info using the below code

Quote

 

'use strict';

const RippleAPI = require('ripple-lib').RippleAPI;

 

const api = new RippleAPI({

  //server: 'wss://s1.ripple.com' // Public rippled server

  //Testnet

  server: 'wss://s.altnet.rippletest.net:51233'

});

api.connect().then(() => {

  /* begin custom code ------------------------------------ */

  //const myAddress = 'rf1BiGeXwwQoi8Z2ueFYTEXSwuJYfV2Jpn';

 

  //Testnet account created by Vikram using the command $curl -s -X POST https://faucet.altnet.rippletest.net/accounts [enter]

  const myAddress = 'rawQ2crN1F4y1U9YfSNxdNzoHFDgahySsg';

 

  console.log('getting account info for', myAddress);

  return api.getAccountInfo(myAddress);

 

}).then(info => {

  console.log(info);

  console.log('getAccountInfo done');

 

  /* end custom code -------------------------------------- */

}).then(() => {

  return api.disconnect();

}).then(() => {

  console.log('done and disconnected.');

}).catch(console.error);

The account does not exist on the TestNet, for some reason. 

Best to generate a test account direct at this website:

@FlyingFox Thanks for respnding.

I created a new test account from the link you provided, but still we get the same error ("Account not found")

$./node_modules/.bin/babel-node get-accountInfo.js

@proman121 Yes, it seemed to be broken earlier.  Now though it seems to be working OK again - try again and see.
