Failed to resolve: use of undeclared crate or module `sp_io` in Substrate Kitties Chain

Question

While building the Substrate Kitties Chain using the tutorial: https://docs.substrate.io/tutorials/v3/kitties/pt1/

I got the error like : PS C:\Users\msi\kitties-tutorial> cargo build --release warning: C:\Users\msi\kitties-tutorial\pallets\kitties\Cargo.toml: unused manifest key: dependencies.serde.feature warning: Git command failed with status: exit code: 128 warning: Could not find .git/HEAD searching from C:\Users\msi\kitties-tutorial\node upwards!

I have added sp-io crates in pallets\kitties\cargo.toml in [dev-dependincies] as

sp-io = { default-features = false, version = "5.0.0", git = "https://github.com/paritytech/substrate.git", branch = "polkadot-v0.9.17" }

and in ["std"] as std = [ "codec/std", "scale-info/std", "frame-support/std", "frame-system/std", "frame-benchmarking/std", "sp-io/std", ]

Answer 1

I think you have declare sp-io in [dev-dependencies] if this is true then please moved sp-io from [dev-dependencies] to [dependencies].

Answer 2

It seems sp-io is using the v5, whereas the other crates are using v4. try using the v4 of sp-io :

[dependecies]
sp-io = { default-features = false, git = 'https://github.com/paritytech/substrate.git', tag = 'devhub/latest', version = '4.0.0-dev' }
