Wallet not loaded

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behaviour

Suddenly wallet not loaded. I was resyncing blockchain (now synced). The wallet is old and has balance. Yesterday there was no problem. Recently updated for V24 to V25. All was working ok until today. Node is not pruned.

Disk that blocks are stored is external Toshiba with USB connection, i have just a soft link between .bitcoin/blocks to blocks at Toshiba. I have repaired this disk a couple of times using windows disk tools. I did a repair because bitcoincore wanted to reindex blockchain. After the repair bitcoinore was ok (not asking for reindex) and continue syncing. Tried this command: bitcoin-cli listaccounts and get error code: -32601/ Method not found error message

Expected behaviour

load my wallet

Steps to reproduce

run bitcoin-qt or bitcoind, all working ok except wallet loading

Relevant log output

“Wallet disabled!” from bitcoind running messages

I think this behavior is expected. Have a look at f0758d8a66 and maybe some older related changes when the default wallet creation and loading is disabled.

It makes sense for nodes that run the released binary but do not operate their own wallet (or do it differently than using the Bitcoin Core’s wallet - straight via RPC calls, for example scantxoutset to get the list of UTXOs).

I have another full node v25 (similarly recently updated from v24) to a different computer. No problems there. But how to see my wallet/wallets again, downgrade to v24?

You shouldn’t be passing -disablewallet if you want to keep the wallet enabled.

Related code:

0    if (args.GetBoolArg("-disablewallet", DEFAULT_DISABLE_WALLET)) {
1        LogPrintf("Wallet disabled!\n");
2        return;
3    }

i did nothing different, nothing changed in configuration file. Just opened a terminal and run bitcoin-qt as i am doing for years… How this -disablewallet parameter is passed?

Tried to my other node V25 bitcoin-qt -disablewallet and get no wallet as expected. But on the “problem node” i just type bitcoin-qt

Options can be passed on the command line, or in the conf file.

You can unusually find the conf file in the datadir. Or with the gui, via “Settings”, “Options”, “Open Conf File”.

You can pass -nodisablewallet to overwrite a previous setting.
