On running the command anchor test it keeps returning an error.
error: not a directory: '/home/dhruv/.local/share/solana/install/releases/1.18.2/solana-release/bin/sdk/sbf/dependencies/platform-tools/rust/bin'
However, in the location /home/dhruv/.local/share/solana/install/releases/1.18.2/solana-release/bin/sdk/sbf/dependencies/platform-tools/rust/ there only a lib folder in there.
I have uninstalled and re-installed it multiple times. Cleared all possible caches, the error keeps persisting.
installed using rustup, using the stable toolchain, I can run
rustc --version successfullycargo --version successfullysolana --version successfullyavm --version successfullyanchor --version successfully
I can even run the solana-test-validator
Totally blocked on this one. Not understanding how to solve this.Adding my PATH variable
/home/dhruv/.local/share/solana/install/active_release/bin:/home/dhruv/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/bin:/home/dhruv/.nvm/versions/node/v21.6.1/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/dhruv/Android/Sdk/emulator:/home/dhruv/Android/Sdk/platform-tools:/home/dhruv/Android/Sdk/tools:/home/dhruv/Android/Sdk/tools/bin:/home/dhruv/Android/Sdk/cmdline-tools/latest/bin:/home/dhruv/.cargo/bin:/home/dhruv/.avm/bin
What should the solana file structure look like after a proper install? Where is the bin folder located?
The simple fix was to delete everything in the folder /home/<USER>/.local/share/solana/install/releases/1.18.2/solana-release/bin/sdk/sbf/dependencies/platform-tools/
and then run anchor test again.
I saw this error with other colleagues as well - the error occurs due to improper unpacking of the tar file in platform-tools.
You could also try manually unpacking the tar file again.
