Metamask: Why the injected provider – MetaMask doesn’t work on Remix

As a Metaverse enthusiast, I have been using Remix, a popular web-based framework for building and testing Ethereum 2.0 applications, to create interactive experiences for my users. Recently, I ran into issues with my injected provider – MetaMask – not working as expected in my Remix setup.

To troubleshoot the issue, I followed a few steps that you can try to resolve the issue:

Step 1: Reinstall MetaMask and the Metamask injected provider

Before we dive into more advanced troubleshooting, make sure that you have removed and reinstalled MetaMask in your browser. This simple step usually resolves connectivity issues.

If reinstalling doesn’t work, try removing the injected provider by deleting the following files:

  • metamask-extension.js (located in ~/.local/share/MetaMask/)
  • web3-provider-metamask.js (located in ~/Library/Application Support/MetaMask/)

Step 2: Update MetaMask

It’s possible that you’re using an outdated version of MetaMask. Make sure to update your browser extension to the latest version:

  • For Chrome: Go to chrome://extensions/, enable Developer Mode, and click “Update Extensions”. Then search for MetaMask and update.
  • For Firefox: Open Firefox Settings by pressing Ctrl + Shift + T, go to About Firefox, and click Install Update. Then search for MetaMask and install the latest version.

Step 3: Clear your browser cache

A corrupted browser cache can cause issues with injected providers. Try clearing your browser cache and cookies:

  • Chrome: Press Ctrl + Shift + R (or Cmd + Shift + R on Mac), then select “Clear browsing data” and choose the time range.
  • Firefox: Press Ctrl + Shift + K, then select “Clear recent history”.

Step 4: Try a different injection method

Since you are using injected providers, it is possible that the issue is related to the provider itself. Try injecting MetaMask using a different method:

  • Use the MetaMask JavaScript API instead of the Web3Provider.
  • Create a new instance of MetaMask and use its built-in features.

Additional Troubleshooting Steps:

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you can try:

  • Checking for conflicts with other extensions or scripts in your browser.
  • Using a different wallet or seed phrase to ensure it is not related to your current account.
  • Contacting MetaMask support or the Remix community for further assistance.

I hope this helps you troubleshoot and resolve the issue with injected providers – MetaMask not working in Remix. If you have any additional questions or need further guidance, feel free to ask!
