Bug on LITD instances // unable to use genseed API

[weltitob]

JSON Response: {'code': 2, 'message': 'lnd is not ready for: /lnrpc.WalletUnlocker/GenSeed', 'details': []} // The genSeed API service is uncallable for LITD instances after startup eventough it should be the way hwo to start them up - my code:

import base64
import json
import requests

REST_HOST = '54.198.183.180:8443'
#TLS_PATH = 'LND_DIR/tls.cert'

url = f'https://{REST_HOST}/v1/genseed?"aezeed_passphrase"=Test'

data = {
    #'aezeed_passphrase': base64.b64encode(mnemonic_seed.encode()).decode('utf-8'),
    #'seed_entropy': base64.b64encode(b'').decode('utf-8'),
}

headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

r = requests.get(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data), verify=False)


# Try to print JSON response if available
try:
    json_response = r.json()
    print("JSON Response:", json_response)

except requests.exceptions.JSONDecodeError:
    print("Response is not a valid JSON: ", r)

endpoint url = f'https://{REST_HOST}/v1/state' retruns {'state': 'NON_EXISTING'}

However: Using lnclli create works completly fine on the same instance, this issue was also reported after I mentioned it in the forum by another user

Please can someone help me with this as it is crucial for my application development to continue

I need help on this issue please. Might also be a failure in me calling the api but I coudn't find anything so far

What are you trying to achieve? Generate a completely new seed? Because that's what the genseed call is for. It's completely stateless and doesn't affect the wallet state at all.
But from your example code it looks to me like you're trying to create a wallet with an existing seed? That would then be InitWallet (/v1/initwallet) call.

Well yes I'm basically just trying to intialize a user wallet after creating a completly new litd cloud instance >> {'code': 2, 'message': 'lnd is not ready for: /lnrpc.WalletUnlocker/InitWallet', 'details': []} I get the same error for init_wallet unfortunatly. How do I get my lnd "ready" to even call these api endpoints without using the cli? I need to spin up cloud containers and then want to be able to call them initalize wallets instantly without having a manual lncli script running or smth. It should be possible from API too, to create and unlock a wallet, right? It's just that these endpoints all give me the response that they're not ready.

r = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(data), verify=False)
print(r.json())

Thank you for your patience. I finally found time to reproduce this, and you're right, this is a bug in litd.
Fix is incoming here: #806.

Btw, to format a multi-line piece of code, you need to use three back ticks (a single one is just for inline code).

@guggero Wow, thanks for acting! :)
