Starting bitcoin-qt with -nowallet and then opening a wallet does not show the wallet

achow101 commented at 10:26 pm on February 20, 2019: member

When starting bitcoin-qt with -nowallet to explicitly not load any wallets initially, attempting to load a wallet using the Open Wallet menu option results in the wallet being loaded but the GUI does not change. The wallet is reachable via the RPC interface but the GUI still says that no wallets are loaded.

Should tag with 0.18.

@achow101 I fail to reproduce, mind sharing more details, Qt version etc.

jnewbery commented at 0:18 am on February 21, 2019: member

I tested this exact scenario in the PR that added the “open wallet” menu and it worked for me.

promag commented at 0:31 am on February 21, 2019: member

Also tested with #15450 and still works.

Bitcoin Core version v0.17.99.0-f9775a8655 (64-bit) Qt version 5.7.1 Using Debian 9

achow101 commented at 1:18 am on February 21, 2019: member

I built it using the depends system and this bug is not present. It seems that the issue has to do with Qt 5.7.1.

fanquake commented at 4:29 am on February 21, 2019: member

Can confirm this issue. I compiled master inside a new Debian 9.8 vm (qt 5.7.1), a new wallet opened with the Open wallet menu doesn’t display in the GUI.

debian 9 8

@fanquake mind testing with same fix of #15455?

achow101 commented at 0:57 am on February 22, 2019: member

I’ve tried with that patch but it does not fix this.

jonasschnelli commented at 6:34 am on February 22, 2019: contributor

I was not able to reproduce this, not on OSX self compiled master, not on Ubuntu 18.04.1 with a nightly build (gitian build of master) nor with self compiled master on Ubuntu (Qt 5.9.5). Either a timing issue or a Qt upstream difference.

Sjors commented at 9:33 am on February 23, 2019: member

My guess is that this is a QT 5.7 issue. @achow101 does it go away when you use the depends 5.9 version?

promag commented at 9:35 am on February 23, 2019: member

@Sjors yes, in IRC he said it works.

promag commented at 9:36 am on February 23, 2019: member

I’m working on a fix.

fanquake commented at 10:16 am on March 2, 2019: member

@promag mentioned (line 197) that #15478 is a potential fix for this issue.

fanquake removed this from the milestone 0.18.0 on Mar 15, 2019

fanquake added this to the milestone 0.18.1 on Mar 15, 2019

fanquake commented at 6:24 am on March 15, 2019: member

Moving this to the 0.18.1 milestone.

promag commented at 11:51 am on May 28, 2019: member

@fanquake care to test with #15478?

jonasschnelli added the label Bug on May 29, 2019

fanquake commented at 2:53 am on July 4, 2019: member

@promag is #16261 a potential fix for this?

promag commented at 1:08 pm on July 4, 2019: member

@fanquake yes I think so.

It seems the problem is here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/8c69fae94410f54bad13be0f34d54370fddbf4b3/src/qt/walletcontroller.cpp#L118-L125 @fanquake I failed to build the Bitcoin Core with the downloaded Qt 5.7.1 on bionic. Could you give me a piece of advice?
