Unable to override signer when original sender address is not in wallet

[petitnau]

It seems that if I want to sign a transaction using the overrideSigner option of the signTransaction method, I need to have the original address that is present in the from/sender field as an account in MyAlgoWallet.

Here is an example to reproduce the error. ACC1 is an account not present in MyAlgoWallet, while ACC2 is an account that is present.

const ACC1 = "..."
const ACC2 = "..."

const node = 'https://node.testnet.algoexplorerapi.io';

const myAlgoConnect = new MyAlgoConnect({ disableLedgerNano: false,  });
myAlgoConnect.connect();

const algodClient = new algosdk.Algodv2('', node, '');

const params = await algodClient.getTransactionParams().do();
const txn = algosdk.makePaymentTxnWithSuggestedParamsFromObject({
  suggestedParams: { ...params },
  from: ACC1,
  to: ACC1,
  amount: 10,
});

const signedTxn = await myAlgoConnect.signTransaction(txn.toByte(), { overrideSigner  : ACC2 });

Error: Account does not exist in the storage
    at MyAlgoConnect.signTransaction (main.js:356:1)

If instead both ACC1 and ACC2 are added onto the wallet, then everything works fine.

I'm closing this since a fix has been deployed with the last release
