When working with Bitcoin in a test environment, such as Regtest, it is not uncommon to encounter problems when trying to load a new portfolio. One of these problems is associated with the loading of wallets in your app or your script. In this article, we will explore how to load the Bitcoin wallet from any portfolio in the Regtest Mode using the Bitcoinjs-Lib library.
Realize the regtest mode
Regtest (the abbreviation of a regular testnet) is an experimental test environment that enables the developers to test their implementation of bitcoins without affecting the main network. Working on the Lightning network and provides a controlled environment to test new features, wallets or scripts.
Problem: portfolio is not loaded in the regist Mode
When you start your testnet server in the Regtest mode, it triggers an error if the portfolio is not loaded from the «regtest» repertoire. To solve this problem, we need to change our script to load the portfolio using the Bibliotheka Bitcoinjs-Lib.
Loading Bitcoin wallet from any portfolio in the Regtest mode
Here’s a step -be -bar about how to load bitcoin wallet from any portfolio in the regtest mode:

Const Walletpath = 'path / to / your / wallet';
Const regtestdir = processes.whill. Regtest_dir || "./Regtest";
Constantwalletloader = (Walletpath) => {
If (! Walletpath) return null;
Const Wallet = New Bitcoin.wallet (Walletpath);
If (Wallet.isload ()) {
Console.log (portfolio filled with $ {Walletpath});
Return portfolio;
Iche
// Try up to load the portfolio using the "Regtest-Wallet-Lighting" Regtest
try {
Const Chardedwallet = Regtestwalletloader (Walletpath, Regtestdir);
If (! Lovedwallet) run a new mistake ("wallet failure");
Console.log (portfolio filled with $ {Walletpath});
Return to a deplete;
} Capture (error) {
Console.error (error);

Regtwalletloader (Walletpath);
} The rest {{
