IDL to Anchor Conversion Error: Unrecognized Subcommand

It has been reported that the Anchor CLI IDL convert command failed when attempting to convert IDL code in an existing Anchor project. The issue occurs because the “idl convert” command is being run in a new, isolated workspace or library.

Why the issue exists

When running the IDL convert command in a new, isolated workspace or library, the “anchor” CLI may not be able to detect the existing Anchor project and its associated configurations. This is due to the way Anchor manages its internal state and dependencies.

Solutions and Workarounds

To resolve this issue, consider the following solutions:

1.
Use the --idl-in-project option

Instead of running the IDL conversion command directly from a new workspace or library, try specifying the -idl-in-project option followed by the path to an existing Anchor project.

Example:

”bash

anchor –idl-in-project /path/to/your/project –idl-out /path/to/output

This will convert the IDL code in the specified project without creating a separate workspace or library.

2. 
Create a main project using --idl-in-project
If you need to perform multiple IDL conversions on the same existing project, consider creating an anchor project with the `anchor initcommand and running the IDL conversion commands in that project.
Example:
''bash





Create an anchor project
init /path/to/your/project

Go to the project directory
cd /path/to/your/project

Convert IDL code
idl convert -o /path/to/output.idl --idl-in-project /path/to/your/project

3. **Use anchor depsto automate dependency management

Another possible solution is to useanchor depsto automate dependency management of projects and their IDL code. This can help ensure that the correct dependencies are included when converting IDL code.

``

This will create a new anchor project with the necessary dependencies managed automatically.

Application

Converting IDL code into an existing Anchor project can be challenging, and the "idl convert" command may not work as expected. Using one of these workarounds or solutions, you should be able to resolve the issue and successfully convert IDL code within the context of an existing Anchor project.

Example Use Cases

• Create a new anchor project with multiple IDL conversions

• Automate dependency management between projects and their IDL code

By exploring these options, you can overcome common challenges when working with anchors and IDL conversions.
