Title: Preventing the “No Wallet Address Found” Error Using Metamask Prompt

Introduction:

Metamask, a popular cryptocurrency wallet platform, allows users to manage their wallets and interact with various blockchain networks. However, if the user is not logged in, Metamask may not prompt for the wallet address or display an error message. In this article, we will explore why Metamask does not display messages when the user is not logged in and provide a solution.

Why does Metamask not display messages for non-logged in users?

If you try to access Metamask without logging in, it may think that your wallet address is empty or invalid. However, this may lead to incorrect assumptions about whether the user has a wallet address. If no wallet address is found, Metamask displays the following message:

“No wallet address found”

This error occurs because Metamask looks for a valid wallet address in the following steps:

• Checks if the user is logged in

• Retrieves the user’s wallet address from their wallet file (if available)

• If no address is found, “No wallet address found” is displayed

• If an existing address is found but is not logged in, you may also see this message

Why doesn’t Metamask display messages when you are logged in?

When you log in to your Metamask account, it retrieves the wallet file (if available) and other information from their respective locations. In this case, no errors or messages are displayed because:

• The wallet address is present in the wallet file

• The user’s wallet ID is associated with their logged in account

Solution: Show Metamask window when user is not logged in

To fix this issue and prevent “No wallet address found” errors when the user is not logged in, you can add a simple prompt to display the warning message or an error message before attempting to access the wallet. Here are two possible solutions:

Solution 1: Using JavaScript

function logInWallet() {
// Check if wallet address is present in wallet file
var walletAddress = getWalletAddress(); // Replace with your function
if (walletAddress === null) {
console.log("No wallet address found");
// Alternatively, prompt the user to create a new wallet or log in to Metamask
window.location.href = "
} else {
// Proceed to log in to the account
logInAccount(walletAddress);
}
}
// Define a function to get the wallet address from the wallet file
function getWalletAddress() {
// Return the wallet address from your wallet file or location
}

Solution 2: Using API Endpoints

function logInWallet() {
// Use Metamask's API endpoints to check if the user is logged in and get the wallet address
var response = fetch("
response.then((response) => {
if (response.ok) {
var walletAddress = getWalletAddressFromResponse(response);
// Check if the user has a valid wallet address before logging in
if (walletAddress !== null) {
logInAccount(walletAddress);
} else {
console.log("No wallet address found");
window.location.href = "
}
} else {
console.error("Error checking Metamask API:", response.statusText);
}
});
}
// Define a function to get the wallet address from the API response
function getWalletAddressFromResponse(response) {
// Return the wallet address from your response data or location
}

In both solutions, you can modify the logInWallet() function to check if the user is logged in and get their wallet address before attempting to access it. If no valid wallet address is found, an error message will be displayed.
