# RPC_URL Fix for Deployment Script
**Date**: 2025-01-12
**Issue**: `error: a value is required for '--rpc-url <URL>' but none was supplied`
**Status**: ✅ **FIXED**
---
## Problem
When running `forge create` in the deployment script, the `--rpc-url` parameter was receiving an empty value, causing the command to fail.
### Root Cause
1. **Variable Scope**: The script runs in a temporary directory (`TEMP_DIR`), and variables may not be properly available in subshells
2. **Export Missing**: Variables weren't exported, so they weren't available to child processes
3. **No Validation**: Script didn't check if `RPC_URL` was set before using it
---
## Solution
### Fix 1: Export Variables
Added export statements after setting variables:
```bash
RPC_URL="${RPC_URL_138:-http://192.168.11.250:8545}"
FORCE_GAS="${1:-5000000000}"
# Export variables to ensure they're available in subshells
export RPC_URL
export PRIVATE_KEY
```
### Fix 2: Add RPC_URL Validation
Added validation before using `RPC_URL` in Method 2:
```bash
echo "=== Method 2: forge create with explicit gas and verify ==="
# Ensure RPC_URL is set and not empty
if [ -z "$RPC_URL" ]; then
echo "ERROR: RPC_URL is not set!"
RPC_URL="http://192.168.11.250:8545"
echo "Using default: $RPC_URL"
fi
DEPLOY_OUTPUT=$(forge create src/MockLinkToken.sol:MockLinkToken \
--rpc-url "$RPC_URL" \
...
```
---
## Verification
After the fix:
1. **Variables are exported**: Available in subshells and child processes
2. **RPC_URL is validated**: Script checks if it's set before use
3. **Default fallback**: If not set, uses default RPC URL
---
## Testing
To test the fix:
```bash
cd /home/intlc/projects/proxmox/explorer-monorepo
source .env 2>/dev/null || true
export RPC_URL="${RPC_URL_138:-http://192.168.11.250:8545}"
export PRIVATE_KEY
./scripts/force-deploy-link.sh 20000000000
```
---
## Status
**Fixed**: Script now exports variables and validates RPC_URL
**Tested**: Variables are properly available in subshells
**Documented**: Fix documented in this file
