cli_wallet does not answer RPC call given in README

[xeroc]

curl --data '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "get_accounts", "params": [["1.2.0"]], "id": 1}' http://127.0.0.1:8090/rpc

Exists with an unknown method exception.

and the query:

 {
     "id": 0,
     "method": "get_account"
     "params": [
         [
             "bytemaster"
         ]
     ],
     "jsonrpc": "2.0",
 }

yields:

 grapheneapi.grapheneapi.RPCError: 7 bad_cast_exception: Bad Cast
 Invalid cast from array_type to string
     {"type":"array_type"}
     th_a  variant.cpp:471 as_string

[bytemaster]

That is a witness API call, for the wallet api see:

https://github.com/cryptonomex/graphene/blob/master/libraries/wallet/include/graphene/wallet/wallet.hpp

Working calls:

curl --data '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "call", "params": [0, "list_my_accounts",[]], "id": 1}' http://127.0.0.1:8091/rpc
curl --data '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "call", "params": [0, "help",[]], "id": 1}' http://127.0.0.1:8091/rpc

not working

    curl --data '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "call", "params": [0, "info",[]], "id": 1}' http://127.0.0.1:8091/rpc

cli_wallet prints this:

locked >>> here... 
1659993ms th_a       main.cpp:203                  operator()           ] .

Instead of using "method":"call" I also tried with the alternative syntax from the README:

curl --data '{"id":0,"method":"get_block","jsonrpc":"2.0","params":[[298983]]}' http://127.0.0.1:8091/rpc                                                                                                                          ─┘

Output was:

{"id":0,"error":{"code":1,"message":"7 bad_cast_exception: Bad Cast\nInvalid cast from array_type to uint64\n    {\"type\":\"array_type\"}\n    th_a  variant.cpp:403 as_uint64\n\n    {\"*this\":[298983]}\n    th_a  variant.cpp:405 as_uint64","data":{"code":7,"name":"bad_cast_exception","message":"Bad Cast","stack":[{"context":{"level":"error","file":"variant.cpp","line":403,"method":"as_uint64","hostname":"","thread_name":"th_a","timestamp":"2015-08-24T15:28:39"},"format":"Invalid cast from ${type} to uint64","data":{"type":"array_type"}},{"context":{"level":"warn","file":"variant.cpp","line":405,"method":"as_uint64","hostname":"","thread_name":"th_a","timestamp":"2015-08-24T15:28:39"},"format":"","data":{"*this":[298983]}}]}}}%

I still cant bring the cli wallet to do anything useful but I need it for the deposit monitoring to decode the tx memo etc...

It would also be useful for writing a trading bot or do you have a different plan for market making?

[xeroc]

I am adding some labels to make clear that this needs fixing!

How would a market maker implement a bot when the cli_wallet doesn't reply?
How am I supposed to monitor deposits for exchanges when the cli_wallet doesn't reply?
How am I supposed to test the robustness of the network if I cannot implement a stresstest with cli_wallet?

Ok .. I figured it out myself! I need to run

./programs/cli_wallet/cli_wallet -H 127.0.0.1:8092

instead of

./programs/cli_wallet/cli_wallet -r 127.0.0.1:8092
