Hi, wanted to test out generateTestWallet, but it seems that it doesn’t work even if added into index.d.ts.

```auto
import { generateTestWallet } from '@fuel-ts/account/test-utils';
or 
import { generateTestWallet } from 'fuels';

```

Tried to fix it, but still doesn’t work:

```auto
node_modules/@fuel-ts/account/dist/index.d.ts
import './test-utils.js';
import './configs.js';
export * from './account';
export * from './wallet';
export * from './hdwallet';
export * from './mnemonic';
export * from './wordlists';
export * from './signer';
export * from './wallet-manager';
export * from './predicate';
export * from './providers';
export * from './connectors';
export * from './test-utils'; // added but doesn't work
//# sourceMappingURL=index.d.ts.map

```

Error Message:

```auto
Module '"fuels"' has no exported member 'generateTestWallet'.ts(2305)

```

Hi @eesheng 👋

Could you share your `package.json` file please?

Thanks @eesheng.

You can access the `generateTestWallet` via the `fuels/test-utils` namespace.

```ts
import { generateTestWallet } from 'fuels/test-utils';

```

Apologies, potentially that change is awaiting release.

Could you try using the following import:

```ts
import { generateTestWallet } from '@fuel-ts/account/test-utils';

```

You will need to install the `@fuel-ts/account` package.

Still doesn’t work, `Could not find a declaration file for module '@fuel-ts/account/test-utils'. `

This is my mistake - I created the following [issue](https://github.com/FuelLabs/fuels-ts/issues/2547), which has been resolve in [#2548](https://github.com/FuelLabs/fuels-ts/pull/2548). This has been released with v0.90.0.

Hi, is there an update going on? Not sure why it doesn’t work and the documentation page is down [https://docs.fuel.network/docs/fuels-ts/wallets/test-wallets/#setting-up-test-wallets](https://docs.fuel.network/docs/fuels-ts/wallets/test-wallets/#setting-up-test-wallets)

This is the code and I am running the local fuel node.

```auto
import { NODE_URL } from "../../lib";
import { Provider, Wallet, WalletUnlocked, Signer, CoinQuantity, } from "fuels";
import { generateTestWallet } from '@fuel-ts/account/test-utils';
import { useState } from "react";
import useAsync from "react-use/lib/useAsync";
export const useFaucet = () => {
  const [faucetWallet, setFaucetWallet] = useState<WalletUnlocked>();

  useAsync(async () => {
    if (!faucetWallet) {
      const provider = await Provider.create(NODE_URL);
      const baseAssetId = provider.getBaseAssetId();
      const myWallet: WalletUnlocked = await generateTestWallet(provider, [[10, baseAssetId]]);
      const signer = new Signer("0x01");
      const balances: CoinQuantity[] = await myWallet.getBalances();
      console.log('Local Provider address', signer)
      console.log('Local Provider Balances', balances)

      setFaucetWallet(myWallet);
    }
  }, [faucetWallet]);

  return {
    faucetWallet,
  };
};

```

Error:

```auto
 Property '#private' in type 'Provider' refers to a different member that cannot be accessed from within type 'Provider'.ts(2345)

```

Hey @eesheng,

Apologies for the late reply, did you manage to resolve this issue?

If you have not, could you [add an issue](https://github.com/FuelLabs/fuels-ts/issues/new/choose) for this and we can triage it accordingly.

Hi @eesheng I’ve responded to the related issue you raised [here](https://github.com/FuelLabs/fuels-ts/issues/2617)

For the use case you have presented `generateTestWallet` would not be appropriate. We are moving away from `generateTestWallet` in favour of more explicit resource management through `launchTestNode` , you can read more [here](https://docs.fuel.network/docs/fuels-ts/testing/launching-a-test-node/#launching-a-test-node)

Given you want to instantiate a wallet in the browser though I recommend you follow this [guide](https://docs.fuel.network/docs/fuels-ts/wallets/instantiating-wallets/#instantiating-wallets)

Please let us know if this resolves your issue.

1. Let say I generate a new wallet `const unlockedWallet: WalletUnlocked = Wallet.generate();`, do I still need to connect to a provider?

2. How do you add faucets to our locally instantiated wallets? Not the connected provider

</div>

@eesheng I’d just like to [re-iterate](https://forum.fuel.network/t/nodemodules-unable-to-import-generatetestwallet/5859/13) that it seems for your use case `generateTestWallet` is not appropriate, as it primarily for unit tests. Also, we are going to be deprecating that utility in short order in favour of [`launchTestNode`](https://docs.fuel.network/docs/fuels-ts/testing/launching-a-test-node/#launching-a-test-node)

You should either [install a browser wallet](https://docs.fuel.network/guides/counter-dapp/building-a-frontend/#install-the-fuel-browser-wallet) or instantiate a browser wallet as shown [here](https://github.com/FuelLabs/fuels-ts/blob/master/apps/create-fuels-counter-guide/src/hooks/useBrowserWallet.tsx#L16) with `useBrowserWallet`

> 1. Let say I generate a new wallet `const unlockedWallet: WalletUnlocked = Wallet.generate();`, do I still need to connect to a provider?

More than likely any wallet you generate you will want to interact with the chain, and thus that would require connecting to a provider, which can be passed [in as a parameter](https://docs.fuel.network/docs/fuels-ts/wallets/private-keys/#creating-a-wallet-from-a-private-key) to the `generate` function.

> 1. How do you add faucets to our locally instantiated wallets? Not the connected provider

I’m not sure I understand the question, if you would like to send testnet assets to a generated wallet then you can send it to that wallet’s address.
