"unknown node type 0" when calling RPC method 'Filecoin.Version' on Localnet

[rkalis]

I'm not sure whether this issue belongs on this repository or with Lotus, but since I'm using the Localnet setup from this repo I'll open it here. Let me know if I should move it to Lotus.

With the latest master of this repo (a2048ee8d580d16b17698358d0ade3f1285150ee) I am getting the following error when calling RPC method 'Filecoin.Version':

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"error":{"code":1,"message":"unknown node type 0"}}

Steps to reproduce

cd docker
make localnet

Wait until started. Then in a separate terminal:

curl -X POST \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --data '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Filecoin.Version", "params": [], "id": 1 }' \
    'http://127.0.0.1:7777/rpc/v0'

Environment

Operating System: macOS Big Sur 11.1
Docker Version: Docker Desktop 3.1.0

Thanks for the report :)

I think it's related to the bootstrap process of the kind of API exposed by the miner.

Some Lotus related code from where the error comes:

I'd say might be relevant to this repo. This should only affect calling this Version API.
Whenever I have some time gap I can take a look.

I'm getting the same error when I try to execute any command using lotus client binary connected to powergate's textile/lotus-devnet. Is textile/lotus-devnet just a mock? without any Filecoin normal functionality?

[stanbar]

I solved the issue by using old Lotus of version 1.10.0
First download old binaries wget https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/releases/download/v1.10.0/Lotus-v1.10.0-x86_64.AppImage
Then
