ERROR Failed to perform transaction: Transaction failed with vm status: Validation(UnknownScript)

Question

I am following Diem (libra) documentation on My First Transaction, everything worked fine until Submit a Transaction. As mentioned in the following document, I tried to submit a transaction. https://developers.libra.org/docs/my-first-transaction#submit-a-transaction

But it fails with below error, tried going thru troubleshooting articles, but not much helpful.

libra% transfer 0 1 10

[ERROR] Failed to perform transaction: Transaction failed with vm status: Validation(UnknownScript)

Wondering if anyone able to successfully submit the transaction.

Seems you are building the client cli off master branch, you may need to build using testnet instead. I faced the same issue, it worked after switching to testnet branch.

$ git checkout testnet

$./scripts/cli/start_cli_testnet.sh 
.

libra% transfer 0 1 10
>> Transferring
Transaction submitted to validator
To query for transaction status, run: query txn_acc_seq 0 0 <fetch_events=true|false
