walletinfo timeout when wallet is already unlocked

[eightywon]

When running...

chantools walletinfo --withrootkey --walletdb ~/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet/wallet.db

...against a wallet that's already been unlocked in lnd, we get:

2021-05-07 09:30:10.977 [INF] CHAN: chantools version v0.7.1 commit v0.7.1
Input wallet password:
error opening wallet database: timeout
Error running chantools: error opening wallet database: timeout

Workaround was to simply restart lnd. I was then able to successfully run the walletinfo command.

I then unlocked the wallet in lnd and re-tried chantools walletinfo and get the same timeout as above.

I also tried on the latest version (8.4) and the results were the same.

Apologies if this is know/the expected behavior.

lnd version: 0.11.1-beta commit=v0.11.1-beta
bitcoind: 210100

thanks for what you do!! very helpful software

Thanks for the report. This is expected though a user might not know what to do simply from the error message. I'm going to add a more verbose message that instructs the user to shut down lnd.
