Import testnet address in bcoin

Question

I´m trying to import a watch-only address to my bcoin node using cli (testnet). My config looks as follows:

[....]
#
# Options
#

network: testnet

#
# Node
#

prefix: ~/.bcoin-testnet
db: leveldb
max-files: 64
cache-size: 100
[...]

entering the following command (just a random valid testnet address):

 bcoin wallet watch my7q4nhpuJ6TsevXdDnPRq1rvHcPKeGEaD

results with the following error in the debug.log:

[E:2017-08-03T08:43:02Z] (node) Network mismatch for address.
AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: Network mismatch for address.

The error occurs, no matter what address I try to import. Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this?

Answer 1

You can use the http api to perform an import. Notably, you import a wallet with the create wallet command as the import command imports addresses into a wallet.

curl -X PUT \ http://127.0.0.1:18332/wallet/$ID \ -H 'authorization: Basic eDppYW1zYXRvc2hp' \ -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \ -H 'content-type: application/json' \ -d '{ "masterKey":$MASTERKEY }'
