`lightnind` is missing CLI options on darwin #7241

Open plebhash opened 7 months ago

plebhash commented 7 months ago

I need to run clightning on my darwin setup. More specifically, I need to call lightningd --bitcoin-datadir=${bitcoin_dir}.

However, this CLI option is not available on the darwin build.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior (on darwin):

$ lightningd --bitcoin-datadir=.
2024-04-18T13:47:28.658Z INFO    lightningd: v24.02.1
lightningd: --bitcoin-datadir=.: unknown option

I tested with installations both via:

Expected behavior

Here's the expected behavior (validated on linux):

$ lightningd --bitcoin-datadir=.
2024-04-18T13:48:45.580Z INFO    lightningd: Creating database
2024-04-18T13:48:45.604Z UNUSUAL hsmd: HSM: created new hsm_secret file
...

What happens if you pass down lightningd --bitcoin-datadir=$(pwd)?

Not sure the . we resolve the period symbol

plebhash commented 7 months ago

same behavior:

$ lightningd --bitcoin-datadir=$(pwd)
2024-04-20T15:06:46.340Z INFO    lightningd: 24.02.2
lightningd: --bitcoin-datadir=/Users/plebhash/.bitcoin: unknown option

the point is that --bitcoin-datadir is not available on the binary, it doesn't even show up on --help listed options

Sorry I read the error in the wrong way, how you do install the plugin? this error can be possible if your build system is not including bcli plugin

plebhash commented 7 months ago

I didn't build this from source, I just grabbed it via nix and brew. Both options presented this issue.

vincenzopalazzo commented 7 months ago

well nix has build it from source, so we should have a way to reproduce it

Notice that the option is added by bcli so either that plugin no longer has that option, you're using another backend or we're calling a bitcoin-cli that doesn't understand that option anymore (no idea how that'd happen).

I'm experiencing this issue as well. It appears to be introduced in v23.08. It's not present in v23.05.2.

Looking at this to track down a problem in Fedi where @tvolk131 tag me. This is a problem with vanilla cln, and osx on nix.

probably there is something wrong with it, however currently I am hardwareless to reproduce this issue
