Application Aborted

Rspigler commented at 4:42 am on March 2, 2022: contributor

I receive this error when trying to open bitcoin-qt when compiling from master:

terminate called after throwing an instance of ‘std::runtime_error’ what(): JSON value is not a string as expected Aborted

No debug info is generated since the application isn’t started.

I am running Qubes 4.0 fully updated, in a Debian-11 VM with normal networking. Intel x86_64

Can you please run this in valgrind or gdb to produce a stack trace?

What argument are you passing for -prune?

Rspigler commented at 5:00 pm on March 3, 2022: contributor

bitcoin.conf

blockfilterindex=1

and settings.json

{ “prune”: 3814, “upnp”: false, “wallet”: [ “1”, “2”, “Config”, “1.6.22” ] }

ryanofsky commented at 8:41 pm on March 3, 2022: contributor

@Rspigler It looks like what happened here is your settings file got “corrupted” by testing #15936. “Corrupted” in quotes because settings file is probably valid when using #15936, but not valid on master.

To fix this without changing effective settings you can:

Change "prune": 3814 to "prune": "3814" (add quotes) in settings.json. This will keep the correct pruning size, but you won’t be able to edit the pruning size from the GUI. To restore ability to edit pruning size from the GUI you could delete this prune line from “settings.json” altogether and add bPrune=0 nPruneSize=4 to .config/Bitcoin/Bitcoin-Qt.conf.
Delete the "upnp": false, line entirely from settings.json. This line was added due to a bug in #15936 and could cause more problems going forward.

Sorry about this problem and thanks for testing #15936 and reporting this issue. Feel free to ping me or follow up with any questions in #15936. I’m going to close this issue, since it’s caused by a PR that hasn’t been merged, so bitcoin maintainers won’t be burdened by having to track it.

It wouldn’t be nice if downgrading from 24.x to 23.x causes an abort either. Maybe we should still treat this as a bug and fix it for 23.0?

This is a good point. Opened a fix to respect the setting instead of crashing in #24498
