You will be prompted to select a pallet, the dispatchable function and its required arguments, connection details for the chain, and the account to sign the transaction.
If interactive guidance is not desired, you can proceed manually as follows:
pop call chain --pallet System --function remark --args "0x11" --url ws://localhost:9944/ --suri //Alice --skip-confirm
To dispatch a call with Root origin when the chain's runtime includes pallet-sudo, you can wrap the call in a sudo.sudo() call by using the --sudo flag:
pop call chain --pallet System --function remark --args "0x11" --url ws://localhost:9944/ --suri //Alice --sudo
If you already have the SCALE-encoded call data and want to submit the extrinsic directly, use --chain as shown below:
pop call chain --call 0x00000411 --url ws://localhost:9944/ --suri //Alice
Wallet Signing Portal for Browser Extension Signing
Pop CLI includes a --use-wallet option that opens a signing portal, allowing you to sign transactions using a browser extension wallet. This eliminates the need to provide your account's private key directly in the command line. --suri can not be used with --use-wallet.
Example usage of --use-wallet:
pop call chain --call 0x00000411 --url ws://localhost:9944/ --use-wallet
Additional options:
pop call chain --help
