`vesting_balance_create` unclear

[xeroc]

I did some testing with vesting_balance_create and ran into the issue that no matter what policies and parameters I pick, I cannot get to a point where I can claim something back from the vesting balance after a given time.

You can see my experiments in the testnet: http://testnet.bitshares.eu/#/account/maker/vesting/

What I would like to achieve is a simple vesting balance for someone else with say $100 that vests over 1 year.

Also, how could I deposit into a vesting balance? I have read in the code that one of both policies allowed that.

The best place to look for information on creating vesting balances is in this unit test. My suggestion is to idump( (trx) ); at many places in this code, then compile and run with

make chain_test
tests/tests/chain_test -t '*/vesting_balance_withdraw_test'

If you can post the result of running from cli_wallet:

get_vesting_balances maker

it would also be helpful. I suspect this may be UI bug(s).

It was indeed a UI bug get_vesting_balances does the trick. I'll investigate in the UI

Thanks!

I have a feeling that coin_seconds_earned is not updates because I saw no coins earned for any of my vesting balances!

{
    "id": "1.13.84",
    "owner": "1.2.104",
    "balance": {
      "amount": 725000,
      "asset_id": "1.3.0"
    },
    "policy": [
      1,{
        "vesting_seconds": 300,
        "start_claim": "2016-03-16T11:52:10",
        "coin_seconds_earned": "0",
        "coin_seconds_earned_last_update": "2016-03-16T11:53:45"
      }
    ],
    "allowed_withdraw": {
      "amount": 725000,
      "asset_id": "1.3.0"
    },
    "allowed_withdraw_time": "2016-03-16T12:09:00"
  }

coin_seconds_earned is 0 but I am allowed to withdraw funds.

Hence, it seems to be an issue with the database api.
