Error using “goal listpartkeys”

post by cusma on Dec 24, 2019

Hi there,

I typed the following command:

./goal account listpartkeys -w walletname -d data

I got the following error:

Registered	Filename					Parent address				First round	Last round	First key
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

Anyone can help me?

There’s a bug that I’m aware of with that command, try removing any keys that are in the ledger folder temporarily, then re-run the command and see if it succeeds. If it does succeed, is the key(s) that was in the ledger folder registered already or not? When I see this issue it was with unregistered keys only.

Unregistered being no key registration transaction submitted to the network yet.

I simply retried after key registration and it worked. So, as you suggested, the bug is related only to unregistered keys I guess. Maybe could be more informative to explicitly say that the command works only if exists at least one registered key.
