Issue and Steps to Reproduce

Upgraded my test node from v0.8.0-1-gb14b2b0 to v0.8.1-13-g79ba486

All I did was: git pull and make

Node worked perfectly on that previous version (v.0.8.0)

Output:

2020-02-22T08:32:03.557Z INFO database: Updating database from version 128 to 129 2020-02-22T08:32:09.669Z UNUSUAL plugin-bcli: Could not connect to 'lightning-rpc': Connection refused 2020-02-22T08:32:09.669Z INFO plugin-bcli: bitcoin-cli initialized and connected to bitcoind. 2020-02-22T08:32:20.946Z INFO lightningd: -------------------------------------------------- 2020-02-22T08:32:20.946Z INFO lightningd: Server started with public key 02aecde3b3dde450889755d4dbce538e6b9e9dfa7702d14b5bc5c4379e1b330392, alias myshtery (color #23354d) and lightningd v0.8.1-13-g79ba486 2020-02-22T08:32:20.952Z INFO plugin-sendinvoiceless.py: Plugin sendinvoiceless.py initialized

The node doesn't make connections and in general doesn't seem to be doing anything at all!

What's UNUSUAL plugin-bcli: Could not connect to 'lightning-rpc': Connection refused?

Removed gossip-store and after a restart gossip-store doesn't build and remains like this on ls -l

-rw------- 1 user user 1 feb 22 10:04 gossip_store

Remember this test node worked perfectly before the upgrade. Glad I now always update my test node first.

What's UNUSUAL plugin-bcli: Could not connect to 'lightning-rpc': Connection refused?

It's the expected behavior: a new plugin (bcli) introduced in the last release needs to be initialized before we even start listening on the RPC socket, hence it fails the connect().

The node doesn't make connections and in general doesn't seem to be doing anything at all!

Weird, could you provide more logs ? All the logs you provided above are normal operations.

@darosior I don't think there are more logs. I always redirect the output of lightningd to a file and that's all there was in it. There isn't a crash file so I wouldn't know where more log info can be found. I can try to restart with --log-level=DEBUG but that will take a few days as my system got a unilateral close when I tried to return to the old version. Will try later. Good idea?

I'm trying to reproduce the problems I had before with the debugging mode on but everything seems to be working fine this time. Very strange. The gossip_store is rebuilding fine, although it takes a bit longer to start building but that's ok. For now I'll close this issue.

It seems c-lighting takes a bit longer before starting to build the gossip_store but apart from that everything works fine now. Still the UNUSUAL message for expected behavior should be corrected because it's confusing.
