Describe the issue
In testnet ,I run GUI with "server=1". CMD doesn't work. (Symbolic link doesn't work)
Can you reliably reproduce the issue?
If so, please list the steps to reproduce below:
Set %DATA%bitcoin.conf with testnet=1 server=1 ......
Set %USER%AppData/Roaming/Bitcon/bitcoin.conf symbolic links to %DATA%bitcoin.conf
Run %PATH%bitcoin-qt.exe
GUI works well while under CMD the %PATH%daemon/bitcoin-cli.exe "Could not locate RPC credentials"
Special command: D:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon>bitcoin-cli getinfo error: couldn't connect to server: EOF reached (code 1) (make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port)
D:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon>bitcoin-cli.exe -testnet=1 getifo error: Could not locate RPC credentials. No authentication cookie could be found, and no rpcpassword is set in the configuration file (C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\bitcoin.conf)
- When I copy %DATA%bitcoin.conf to %USER%AppData/Roaming/Bitcon/bitcoin.conf rather than symbolic link, it works.
