[2.6][T4] Core unable to decrypt passphrase

[biolypl]

Expected Behavior
Command ark forger:start should decrypt the passphrase and run the forging plugin.

Current Behavior
The command starts forging plugin with none delegate. INFO : Loaded 1 inactive delegate:

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Config encrypted BIP38 passphrase with CLI: ark config:forger
2. Try to start the ark-forger.

Context

The issue hits me on fresh installed node (but synced). The encryption is correct (the same bip38 string in delegates.json as on my other nodes). Forging with plain text passphrase works on the node.

Your Environment

• Version used: @arkecosystem/core/2.5.28
• Environment name and version (e.g. node.js v10.15.3): node.js v11.15.0
• Server type and version: -
• Operating System and version: Ubuntu 18.04
• Link to your project:

Hi @biolypl ,

Thanks for reporting this issue.

We have tested internally and the only way we can reproduce the INFO : Loaded 1 inactive delegate: message on a bip38 encrypted forger is to enter an incorrect password when starting the forger process.

Just to double confirm, is it possible to stop your forger process, configure your bip38 forger and start the forger process again please?

Let us know the results, thanks!

Hello,
as you ask I reconfigured my bip38 forger. To minimize possible typo I used very easy 8 characters password and the issue stays.
I also reinstalled core but no luck.

The only interesting thing I can add here is the situation after reinstall, set bip38 encryption, start forger (still no delegates loaded), stop forger, configure forger without encryption and forger starts with:

Loaded 1 active delegate: my_delegate (my_correct_public_key)
Loaded 1 inactive delegate:

Where the delegates.json file is:

{
  "secrets": [
    "my_correct_passphrase"
  ]
}

So I don't get why it runs 2 delegates.

Should've been fixed in the latest devnet release from last week. Reopen if the issue still occurs when using the correct password.
