How to handle waiting for "ready" after start?

[futurepaul]

Was trying to use nigiri in a script and the lightning faucet was failing. Turns out the problem is I was calling nigiri faucet cln 1 too quickly after start, and something wasn't actually ready yet to accomplish that.

Not sure best solution to this. Possibly an endpoint to poll for "ready" before continuing the script? Or perhaps best move is I just poll the relevant components myself and continue once I know they're ready.

we do something like the bash script below or just an quick & dirty sleep 3 should work :)

function waitForNode () {
  while true; do
    if $1 getblockchaininfo 2>&1 | grep blocks > /dev/null 2>&1; then
      break 
    fi
    sleep 1
  done  
}

But we can offer a HTTP endpoint like /ready https://github.com/vulpemventures/nigiri-chopsticks that does this for you if you prefer

we'll try out your bash script technique and I'll let you know if it doesn't work, thank you!
