LGTM! ⛷

The change looks good.

nit: I propose to add a unit test for this command to make sure it works. We can do it in a separate PR not to block.

Thanks for the fix!

Testing this command in a unit test isn't easy. That's why I started #207, which does include an integration test for triggerforceclose.

Hello, unsure if I should have rerun yet or not, but I pulled the latest master build of chantools and ran triggerforceclose on this channel:

Peer: 02fe6a27ddcb2dd9fa8479fe1d52549b5932079a493b51f1409fa2c5878f1bc07c@65.108.134.61:9735 Channel point: da72f710178fefb50ad13f44dbcf50aa00c04209484da62de2195fa26481b1b5:1

Command run:

~/go/bin/chantools triggerforceclose --peer 02fe6a27ddcb2dd9fa8479fe1d52549b5932079a493b51f1409fa2c5878f1bc07c@65.108.134.61:9735 \ --channel_point da72f710178fefb50ad13f44dbcf50aa00c04209484da62de2195fa26481b1b5:1

Output:

2025-10-09 09:07:20.270 [INF] CHDB: Checking for schema update: latest_version=33, db_version=33 Error: error connecting to peer: unable to create channel status manager: chan-enable-timeout + chan-status-sample-interval must <= chan-disable-timeout and all three chan configs must be positive integers

I also tried adding the flags:

--chan-enable-timeout 10 --chan-status-sample-interval 5 --chan-disable-timeout 30

…but chantools responds with:

unknown flag: --chan-enable-timeout

It seems the internal defaults still violate the enable + sample <= disable rule. Can you confirm if master now sets valid internal defaults, or if further adjustments are required?

Many Thanks for having a look!!!!

@Ellienat you need to compile the code from this pull request for the fix to work.
So after git clone ... you run git checkout 65e5b9d025565cfe86100980427e095369331023 and then compile/install with make install.

Thanks, LGTM 🎉

thanks @guggero that worked now and was able to connect to IP address nodes without any errors, unfortunately though unable to solve stuck channel issue. I'll revert back to original ticket to explore if any other options to resolve.

@Ellienat I added an additional fix in #207, can you try again with git pull && git checkout c94224d8 && make install?
