   Unrelated thought: We should include in the error message if txindex is set.

   @Vagabondtq What is the length of the string_txid? Did you accidentally remove or add chars to the string?

   Did you run the command exactly as “bitcoin-cli getrawtransaction string_txid”

   string_txid must be a hexadecimal string

   @Vagabondtq Can you try with current master again or provide further information to my previous question, please?
