Verify Upload

info

We strongly recommend you do not skip this step.

The Candy Machine provides a command to verify if the metadata URI on chain has been successfully uploaded.

ts-node ~/deprecated-clis/src/candy-machine-v2-cli.ts verify_upload \
    -e devnet \
    -k ~/.config/solana/devnet.json \
    -c example

The command will check that each entry in the cache file matches the URI stored on-chain. A successful execution will generate an output similar to:

Key size 10

uploaded (10) out of (10)
ready to deploy!

If any of the URI entries do not match the information on the chain, you will get an error:

Error: not all NFTs checked out. check out logs above for details

In this case, you will need to re-run the upload command. Only after the verify command succeeds should you make your Candy Machine live.
