bitcoin-cli needs to be in your $PATH
Thank you for your quick response @jb55! That fixed this error, but now i'm getting the same issue as reported by @ekerstein (https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/625).
bitcoin-cli exited with code 1: error: couldn't connect to server: unknown (code -1)
(make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port)
lightningd(4817): bitcoin-cli exited with code 1: error: couldn't connect to server: unknown (code -1)
(make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port)
My .bitcoin/testnet3/bitcoin.config
has:
rpcport=35001
port=8334

No problem. I have some time while I wait to download a 150gb blockchain to buy $3 stickers.
now i'm getting the same issue as reported by @ekerstein (https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/625).
Are you running a testnet node? I believe by default it will do testnet unless you specify --network=bitcoin
Cheers,
LOL, exactly the same thing i want to do! I am running a testnet locally. I want to play with some test coins before burning real ones.
I just commented out those rpcport & port options in testnet3/bitcoin.conf, and now it started syncing blocks! I believe this is working, and I will be getting stickers soon too!
My guess is that if it works in testnet it should work in mainnet?
Thanks again for help, good luck with downloading the chain!
Just to clarify @kryo2k, the lightningd issue went away when you removed those items from your config? I'll try it as well.
EDIT: I don't have either rpcport or port in my config, i.e. I'm running default.
To make things more friendly for new c-lightning users we could perhaps add more helpful error messages for the most common failure scenarios:
bitcoind
not installed/running – suggest installing Bitcoin Corebitcoin-cli
not in PATH
– suggest updating PATH
bitcoin-cli
in PATH
but unable to connect to bitcoind
– suggest configuring RPC, etc.bitcoind
not in sync yet – inform user about blockchain synchronization timesAny other common failure scenarios for users just getting started with c-lightning? :-)
channel too large
channel too small (I think these may have been fixed already?)
recourse when "route not found" is encountered

Agreed. Let's open an issue/pr.
Just to clarify @kryo2k, the lightningd issue went away when you removed those items from your config? I'll try it as well.
Yes @ekerstein, when I commented out those lines and restarted lightning it worked for me. With those options defined, I could not get it working. Maybe there should be an RPC port config parameter on lightningd (if it couldn't find it in conf file)? I couldn't find one.
Off topic from original issue; but now I am having issues trying to use https://starblocks.acinq.co and https://htlc.me/. I constantly get "Could not find a route" after connecting to and funding a payment channel. I'm probably doing something wrong. Does anyone know which channel(s) should be used for either of the above demos?
How many confirmations does your channel have? If you are directly connected and have 2 confirmations (might be more depending on the other endpoint's requirements) that should not happen. Can you provide the output from lightning-cli getpeers
?
Hello @cdecker. I probably did not have enough confirmations after I funded and tested yesterday. Here's the current output:
{
"peers":[
{
"state":"CHANNELD_NORMAL",
"netaddr":[
"81.27.36.90:9735"

]
}
I just attempted to pay an invoice on testnet at starblocks, when executing lightning-cli pay <bolt11>
it hangs there for a long time. As I'm writing it hasn't ended yet.. I do see output from lightningd
, need me to include it?
Yes, could you upload that to gist.github.com?
I'm guessing you were using the following route:
021a45969aea11e8a306defcecf52029628c98f7e900941e2fd4f628ccf2aece28 03a2c860079a31f5a0183041c2d8405f4ae4bba651f2ddc5c17ec09b85f054eef5 03933884aaf1d6b108397e5efe5c86bcf2d8ca8d2f700eda99db9214fc2712b134
Wondering were it is stuck.
Interesting, I just tried this again with a new bolt11, but now i'm getting a different error (see below). Included full log here (https://gist.github.com/kryo2k/428cd1fcd91777fac43d1d60dc103876).

Going to try this again, as lightning-cli listfunds
shows no outputs. Maybe something went thru and debited on my balance. I'll follow-up shortly.
That's a permanent failure, resulting in the channel being closed. Apparently there weren't enough funds to pay for a close transaction, meaning it created an empty one that is invalid. This is probably the same issue as #632. May I ask how many funds where in the channel and what network this was on?
Sure, i put 1500 tsats. I just deposited another 2 tBTC, waiting for funds to appear. Funding address: https://live.blockcypher.com/btc-testnet/address/2MzM7EugYLhNBvqmRRjwKwdfoJaNYCPqTEJ/
The same thing happened to me on mainnet and it created/broadcasted this transaction (1500 bits input was the funding amount):

I will try this invoice again once I have 2 confs.
EDIT: Now with 2 confs, tried again and still reponse with "Could not find a route".
Just curious, why?
We don't want people create large channels until we are confident about the stability, and people have some experience with the clients, foot-gunning protection.
"Could not find a route"
Are you sure that there actually is a path from you to your destination? Otherwise it could be gossip is not sync'd just yet.
I'm having the same issue as op, bitcoin-cli is in PATH and bitcoind is running.

@BramdeBoer probably bitcoind runs on mainnet and youre trying lightning on testnet (they have different ports)
I've now submitted PR #1192 which provides more user-friendly error messages common failure scenarios for new users.
Somewhat related – I have submitted this PR to Bitcoin Core in order to make the combined c-lightning
/bitcoind
onboarding experience less confusing :-)
This might be due to my setup, but here's the full log. The bitcoin-cli script is located in the same directory I am calling lightningd from.
