   I encounter an error with new command getblockfrompeer.

   0bitcoin-cli getblockfrompeer "000000000000034a7dedef4a161fa058a2d67a173a90155f3a2fe6fc132e0ebf" 0
   1error code: -1
   2error message:
   3JSON value is not an integer as expected
   

   It’s working with curl:

   0curl -v --user myusername --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getblockfrompeer", "params": ["000000000000034a7dedef4a161fa058a2d67a173a90155f3a2fe6fc132e0ebf", 0] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8332/
   

   I use the version bitcoin-core-23.0/test.rc5/bitcoin-23.0rc5-arm64-apple-darwin.dmg

   @mbh86

   A couple possible issues:

   • maybe you didn’t run the CLI command from the right directory (e.g. I can reproduce your issue by running it in v0.18 client side with v23 running server side, whereas with v23 you should see “Block already downloaded”); you can check the bitcoind version of the directory you’re in by running bitcoin-cli -version
   • the error message itself isn’t ideal for a bitcoin-cli call; #24944 improves that and adds test coverage for invalid arguments

   What is bitcoin-cli -version?

   Hi @jonatack, Thanks a lot for your feedback and helpful info!

   Yes you are right, I have the wrong version of bitcoind:

   0$ bitcoin-cli -version
   1Bitcoin Core RPC client version v22.0.0
   

   It seems there are no bitcoin-cli built in the dmg file. So either I have to configure & build it for v23 for now or wait for official release with homebrew for example.

   Can this be closed, given that we have no influence over homebrew?

    over homebrew?

    Looks like it has been bumped to 23.0 there now in any case: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/100174.
