While my bolt12 lightning game kept working, this made my hacked version of Spark-wallet stop working. That's how I noticed, although a bit late. I'm going to add decodepay into my game as an extra check (when this issue has been fixed).

getinfo output

"version": "v23.05-289-g5afd0ab",

[hMsats]

Oops: I should have used decode probably since I'm using allow-deprecated-apis=false. Closing this "non-issue"

EDIT: had to fix Spark-wallet to only use decode.

[hMsats]

Reopening this issue: maybe decodepay should work also in this case? If I'm wrong here, please close the issue.

Running CL with experimental-offers and allow-deprecated-apis=false in config

[vincenzopalazzo]

Yeah from docs this should works

The decodepay RPC command checks and parses a bolt11 string as
specified by the BOLT 11 specification.

I will look into it

[vincenzopalazzo]

There are two options: either we remove the 'decodepay' and use only 'decode,' or we decode any BOLT11 type within 'decodepay.'

I am more in favor of removing it because it does not add any value to have two different commands that do the same thing (for a subset of input). However, this requires a bit of code refactoring to enable the logic to work even when offers are disabled.

I will try to make a patch in the next week (ofc the decodepay will be deprecated and not removed)
