Updating Params Failed

[harrybite]

I have created a module called 'Identity' with some custom msgs and prefix (I changed the prefix from 'cosmos' to 'ssi')

I am trying to update the Params of my module but the transaction is failing every time with this error

I have gone through the documentation also https://docs.cosmos.network/v0.50/build/modules/gov#proposal-submission
which says everyone can send the proposal, but in my case I don't know what's going wrong.

I also followed this ignite tutorial https://tutorials.ignite.com/use-governance-correctly-to-upgrade-your-blockchain and sent an UpdateParamsMsg for my custom module but I still had the same error.

I checked the code and found that the error is coming from https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/blob/main/x/gov/keeper/proposal.go#L102.
When I initialize the chain it does not have any flag which can set gov account. Is the gov account address hard coded in any file?

[tac0turtle]

In your custom module are you setting the authority to gov or another account?

the gov address is predictable, when constructing the message that gov needs to execute the signer of the message needs to be gov address, this is why its failing. Can you post the message you are trying to execute

@tac0turtle I used this command to send the transaction

proposal.json file contains this stuff

I have not set authority to any account. it defaults to the governance module, right ??

or I have to set the authority from somewhere else in the code ?

[tac0turtle]

how are you handling parameters? through the params module or directly in your module?

[harrybite]

@tac0turtle Ahh, I could not understand what you mean by handling parameters. I am trying to update my module parameter which is currently only one, and I am using that inside my module.

I also tried to submit the proposal to update the minting parameters but still got the same error.

Okay, so I fixed this by changing the authority.
