[bug]: expected network TestNet, got TestNet3

[benthecarman]

Background

Cannot create an lnd regtest wallet. I get the error unable to create partial chain control: expected network TestNet, got TestNet3

Your environment

• version of lnd 0.15.4

Steps to reproduce

Every start up I get this error, I also have a lnd testnet node running as well.

Could you please be a bit more specific on what flags/configs you're using? Creating regtest wallets work very well for me.

[guggero]

Even though the error is a bit misleading, it sounds to me like you're connecting to the testnet bitcoind instead of the regtest one. Or some port got mixed up.

[benthecarman]

Yeah, changing to bitcoind.rpchost=127.0.0.1:18443 seemed to fix, weird that it was trying to connect to testnet. Maybe there is a bug around that?

[guggero]

Yeah, I think that's a long-standing (and IMO incorrect) config in the btcd chain parameters library that regtest and testnet use the same default port. Not sure if it can easily be fixed without breaking backward compatibility though.
