cli_wallet doesn't do anything

[songproducer]

Logging RPC to file: logs/rpc/rpc.log
Starting a new wallet
866763ms th_a main.cpp:154 main ] wdata.ws_server: ws://localhost:8090

then nothing - wont respond to any comands like list_my_accounts.

There is also no logs/rpc/rpc.log

Need more info. Screenshot?

To clarify - does steemd need to be running and synchronised when I run cli_wallet?

[mvandeberg]

The cli wallet needs to connect to a running steemd on the rpc-endpoint (default is port 8090). The option needs to be set on the steemd at runtime or in the config file.

When starting the cli wallet you should get a prompt that looks something this this:

Is this how I should start it?

./cli_wallet --rpc-endpoint=127.0.0.1:8090

[mvandeberg]

./cli_wallet --server-rpc-endpoint=ws://127.0.0.1:8090

Or just
./cli_wallet will default to 127.0.0.1:8090

I tried connecting to some of the ip addresses listed here but no luck:

Leos-MacBook-Pro:cli_wallet leotreasure$ ./cli_wallet --server-rpc-endpoint=ws://seed.steemed.net:2001
Logging RPC to file: logs/rpc/rpc.log

asio websocket.cpp:439 operator()

{"uri":"ws://seed.steemed.net:2001"}
th_a  websocket.cpp:668 connect

[songproducer]

Finally sorted.

Solve underlying transport error by only setting one instance of rpc - make sure config has this:
rpc-endpoint=127.0.0.1:8091

then run steemd with no extra arguments.

./cli_wallet --rpc-http-allowip=127.0.0.1 --server-rpc-endpoint=ws://127.0.0.1:8091

Not sure if this is necessary or not - but I added ./cli_wallet to the firewall in system preferences.
