Importing from a Keystore

[Skyge]

I am trying to import from a keystore file to test my contract on a test net, so I run the following command:

brownie accounts import owner ./UTC--...--5ce9454909639D2D17A3F753ce7d93fa0b9aB12E

But I got an error:

Brownie v1.7.2 - Python development framework for Ethereum

  File "brownie/_cli/__main__.py", line 58, in main
    importlib.import_module(f"brownie._cli.{cmd}").main()
  File "brownie/_cli/accounts.py", line 41, in main
    fn(*args["<arguments>"])
  File "brownie/_cli/accounts.py", line 89, in _import
    accounts.load(source_path)
  File "brownie/network/account.py", line 121, in load
    raise FileNotFoundError(f"Cannot find {json_file}")
FileNotFoundError: Cannot find /Users/token/UTC--...--5ce9454909639D2D17A3F753ce7d93fa0b9aB12E.json

So it seems like it would add a .json suffix to the file, I created my keystore file form the application MyCrypto, it does not provide a suffix, and I remembered that if you tried to generate a keystore file from the geth, the file do not has a suffix either, so I think for most of cases, the keystore file does not have a suffix, so is there a need to add the suffix?

In order to pass this checking, so I add .json suffix to me file, but I got another error:

You need to pass a path to the keystore file, which should be saved as a json. For example, if you saved the keystore as my_keystore_file.json:

brownie accounts import owner my_keystore_file.json

Yeah, I have changed my file name, so later, I got the another error like above

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/token/UTC--...--5ce9454909639D2D17A3F753ce7d93fa0b9aB12E'

Ahh sorry, I misunderstood! Working on a fix.
