misleading error when running jormungandr with genesis block exceeding 255 initial funds

[cleverca22]

[testnet@testnet-deployer:~/jormungandr-performance/static]$ jq < /tmp/testrun/genesis.yaml '.initial[0].fund | length'

with 255 initial funds, it works

can you give us the 2 genesis files?

If you are using format (1): (1)

initial:
  - fund:
      - address: ca1shz8a85d3xhu76n0k9s99ss8v69nf8dnqagly4ljndzr9pqyg6ktu7kyv3v
        value: 10000000000000000
      - address: ca1sk6pmqy3lfrr7kq4afmywn5hl9prurwy7xfqejjgazlg9r5nnmk26h5fr8k
        value: 10000000000000000
      - address: ca1s5rkmsfsra5chatzcjmdmh5nsu8rpar6x2ly3gr85q332ckr4quqvlpscpr
        value: 10000000000000000
...

try (2)

(2)

initial:
  - fund:
      - address: ca1shz8a85d3xhu76n0k9s99ss8v69nf8dnqagly4ljndzr9pqyg6ktu7kyv3v
        value: 10000000000000000
  - fund:
      - address: ca1sk6pmqy3lfrr7kq4afmywn5hl9prurwy7xfqejjgazlg9r5nnmk26h5fr8k

  - fund:
      - address: ca1s5rkmsfsra5chatzcjmdmh5nsu8rpar6x2ly3gr85q332ckr4quqvlpscpr
        value: 10000000000000000
  - fund:
...

in format (1) probably jcli genesis encode is truncating the funds.

thanks, @rinor is right. Did you gather this information from the documentation @rinor ?

[rinor]

@NicolasDP no, it is from https://github.com/input-output-hk/jormungandr/issues/579.
