Metamask-extension: Metamask not showing balance for testrpc account

[souravray]

I am running testrpc like bellow

I ran the following code to test the account balce

var Web3 = require('web3');
var web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider("http://localhost:8545"));
web3.eth.getAccounts()
.then((addresses) => { 
    addresses.forEach((address) => {
        web3.eth.getBalance(address)
        .then((balance) => {
            console.log(address + ' - ' + balance.toString(10));
        })
    });
 })
.catch((error) => console.log("got an error"))

The output of the above code shows the account balance 100000.

I tried to import the account to metamask by connecting on _localhost:8545_ and then importing by the private key

After this steps metamask successfully adds a/c 0x5A88fbD9e56CCc3Fc26DB507e243eC0d70F274E4 , but the account balance remains 0 Eth

Am I missing something?

Same issue here. Saw the same 0 ETH balance issue when trying to import a ganache test account by its private key into MetaMask. Ganache is showing 100 ETH balance for that account.

Update #1: The issue still remains when switching to MetaMask beta.

@senpo @souravray rather than connect to localhost:8575 try clicking "Custom RPC" in the network drop-down, then entering http://127.0.0.1:7545 in the "New RPC URL" - my Ganache account balances show up fine.

I have the same issue, when importing an address from ganache to metamask i see 0 eth when it should have about 100. I am using the custom RPC option with http://127.0.0.1:7545. Any updates on this?

I have the same problem on Windows 10? Please help??!

We had a user report that adding a trailing slash / to the end of the custom RPC URL solved this for them.

Still not sure of the root cause - works fine for me without the slash - but @heavymossman @ilbhaicnl give that a try at let us know

Hey guys, I have the same issue. It was working 2 days ago. I'm entering http://127.0.0.1:7545 on the Coustom RPC option in MetaMask and is still not showing any balances. @bdresser I try adding the trailing slash and it did not work.

[EduardoCortesL]

I figure out a workaround, you re-install metamask. Click on import DEN and write the 12 words given by Ganache/TestRPC. After you register with a new password, you go to Coustom RPC and write the RPC URL you have from Ganace/TestRPC, after it connects you should be able to see the balance of those accounts.

Holy shit. Adding the / to the end of http://127.0.0.1:7545 works like a charm...

So to be clear, use this string 'http://127.0.0.1:7545/'

Same issue. I am using the command testrpc -m 'metamask seed words', its still not working.
Testrpc is running on port 8545, what should I enter to solve it?
When I am trying to use Custom RPC on Metamask, its keeps on trying to connect, but not getting connected.

I think you have to paste your metamask seed words(key words) in MNEMONIC session in ganache. Then it your metamask will show the current balance in Ganache
