"option name 'bitcoin-rpcuser' is already taken" error when trying to run folgore with "lightningd --testnet" #83

I ran "lightningd --testnet" successfully yesterday with folgore. I played around with lightning testnet network, everything was fine. Today, when I tried to run "lightningd --testnet" again, this error pops up

error starting plugin '/home/mephisto/.coffee/testnet/plugins/folgore/target/release/folgore_plugin': option name 'bitcoin-rpcuser' is already taken

seemed like a trivial issue at first site, checked for any "bitcoin-rpcuser" option mentioned in config file causing conflicts, there wasn't any. Deleted config file, deleted core lightning repository, cloned it and rebuilt it, still issue persists.

Any other way to debug this issue?

Right, you need to run core lightning with --disable-plugin bcli, so in your case lightningd --testnet --disable-plugin bcli

I am happy to review your PR if you add this to the readme

unfortunately, it doesn't solve the issue for me :( it can be something stupid on my side too, any other way to debug this? check if I already set bitcoin rpcuser somewhere?

vincenzopalazzo commented 4 months ago

No, the error is telling you that there is another Bitcoin plugin installed. So please check the command that you are running

Otherwise, post the following info

the command to start core lightning
the commands that you ran with coffee
the result of cat <your_home_dir>/.coffee/testnet/coffee.conf

Thanks!

wait no, it did solve the issue, I apologize! but now something seems to be loading forever

is this supposed to happen? and yes I'll issue a new PR for readme update in a while

nakamoto is syncing with the network so it need some time to keep up

raehat commented 4 months ago

I thought this plugin is used to connect your local lightning node to a remote bitcoin node, so why sync happens?

Because nakamoto is not a remote node, please see https://github.com/cloudhead/nakamoto

If you want just a remote API, try bitcoin-client=esplora

Closing this as solved and open an issue to track the missing documentation

Oh! Then I was looking for this, that's really helpful, thanks!
