I have modified bitcoin source code for my altcoin. I have successfully created genesis block, merkel root, noonce and daemon is working well. I have tweaked number of coins per day, total coins etc.. I have also set the bitcoin.conf to server=1, regtest=1 with rpc user and password.
Now i am following the bitcoin CLI tutorial to create first 101 blocks, but it only creates 1 block instead of 101 blocks.
https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-examples#testing-applications
The problem is using the CLI, when i generate 100 blocks only one block is created why?
Here is my chainparams.cpp (clipped code)
/**
* Regression test
*/
class CRegTestParams : public CChainParams {
public:
CRegTestParams() {
strNetworkID = "regtest";
consensus.nSubsidyHalvingInterval = 150;
consensus.BIP16Height = 0; // always enforce P2SH BIP16 on regtest
consensus.BIP34Height = 100000000; // BIP34 has not activated on regtest (far in the future so block v1 are not rejected in tests)
consensus.BIP34Hash = uint256();
consensus.BIP65Height = 1351; // BIP65 activated on regtest (Used in rpc activation tests)
consensus.BIP66Height = 1251; // BIP66 activated on regtest (Used in rpc activation tests)
consensus.powLimit = uint256S("7fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff");
consensus.nPowTargetTimespan = 14 * 24 * 60 * 60; // two weeks
consensus.nPowTargetSpacing = 10 * 60;
consensus.fPowAllowMinDifficultyBlocks = true;
consensus.fPowNoRetargeting = true;
consensus.nRuleChangeActivationThreshold = 108; // 75% for testchains
consensus.nMinerConfirmationWindow = 144; // Faster than normal for regtest (144 instead of 2016)[/code]
and in the commanline, it is executing only one block.
./bitcoin-cli -regtest generate 101
[
"179ef1bb855aed3d01324e6eff17ce63773b3ae79a0e123bfdf7f5d11cad0360"
]
and the output (clipped)
./bitcoin-cli -regtest getblockchaininfo

What is preventing creating 101 blocks?
I am seeing this in debug.log
