neo-cli v2.5.0+ doesn't create blocks anymore

[metachris]

This issue is for tracking the current issue that neo-cli >= v2.5.0 doesn't create blocks anymore.

This is the output of neo-cli version 2.4.1 (current in this master branch, and last neo-cli version that works):

$ ./docker_build.sh

$ ./docker_run.sh
Starting container...
f76bb5849ead5f991b90cfe9f05aef182df6637aa700a3f422cb6bbe6f5bdcb1

$ docker exec -it neo-privnet /bin/bash

root@neo-privnet:/# screen -ls
There are screens on:

4 Sockets in /var/run/screen/S-root.
root@neo-privnet:/# screen -d -r 11.node2

This is the output inside the screen:

spawn dotnet neo-cli.dll --rpc
NEO-CLI Version: 2.4.1.0

open wallet wallet2.db3

When running the latest neo-cli (eg neo-cli 2.5.2 from this branch: https://github.com/CityOfZion/neo-privatenet-docker/tree/252), with the same initial commands as above, this is the output inside the screen:

spawn dotnet neo-cli.dll --rpc
NEO-CLI Version: 2.5.2.0

neo> open wallet wallet2.db3
open wallet wallet2.db3
password: ***
neo> start consensus
[11:03:36] OnStart

And it just hangs there without generating blocks.

Feedback from @erikzhang

[4:08 PM] erik: You need to add the consensus contract to the wallet"

[metachris]

What's the steps to add the consensus contracts to the wallets?

[AshRolls]

Not entirely sure... once we figure it out we should be able to just recreate the supplied wallet files with the consensus contract included.

Fixed with #18
