Change session keys in new chain spec

Question

Chain spec primary_chain is defined under node/src/chain_spec.rs

Steps to reproduce:

1. generate default chain spec for primary_chain

./collator build-spec --chain primary_chain > spec.json

1. Edit session.keys array with updated sets of keys
2. Generate genesis-state for updated chain state

./collator export-genesis-state --chain spec.json

Error:

Error: thread 'main' panicked at 'Validator in session 1 missing keys!', /home/deployer/.cargo/git/checkouts/substrate-7e08433d4c370a21/fc3fd07/frame/session/src/lib.rs:487:52

Answer 1

The easiest way is to modifier the code, then re-generate the chain spec.

If you modify the chain spec json file directly, you might need to update all the related pallets.
