Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
Current behaviour
The GUI crashes in regtest immediately on start. It did work once initially but has been crashing since, tried quite a few times.
Expected behaviour
The GUI should not crash in regtest, just like it doesn’t in main or test environments.
Steps to reproduce
Following is the command I have used. Also, tried a few variants of the -datadir, -walletdir args by adding and removing /regtest.
0➜ bitcoin git:(master) ✗ ./build/bin/bitcoin-qt -datadir=/Users/rkrux/Library/ApplicationSupport/Bitcoin/regtest -conf=/Users/rkrux/Library/ApplicationSupport/Bitcoin/bitcoin-reg.conf -walletdir=/Users/rkrux/Library/ApplicationSupport/Bitcoin/regtest/wallets
Error received in the UI and the terminal.
