[Samourai Server] - JSON-RPC Error: jsonrpc field must be a string

[dennysubke]

Description:

I am encountering a recurring error with Samourai Server when it attempts to interact with Bitcoin Core. The error log shows the following message repeatedly:

2024-11-03T22:15:46Z ERROR Bitcoind RPC : LatestBlock.onBlockHash()
{ code: -32600, message: 'jsonrpc field must be a string' }

Steps to Reproduce:

Start Samourai Server and Bitcoin Core. Observe the error messages in the Samourai Server logs.

Expected Behavior:

Samourai Server should interact with Bitcoin Core without JSON-RPC field errors.

Actual Behavior:

The server logs an error indicating that the jsonrpc field must be a string, preventing normal operation.

Troubleshooting Attempts:

• Checked configuration files for JSON-RPC formatting issues.
• Ensured jsonrpc field is set to "2.0" in any relevant configurations.
• Restarted both Samourai Server and Bitcoin Core.

Additional Information:

This error may indicate an incompatibility between the versions of Samourai Server and Bitcoin Core, or a possible configuration issue with JSON-RPC fields.

Hey @nmfretz , I understand you probably have a lot on your plate. I just wanted to gently remind you about this issue in case it got overlooked. The app has been broken for over two weeks, and I’d greatly appreciate an update when you have the chance. Thank you for your time and effort!

Have the same issue, been using samurai server app a lot as a backend to sentinel app.
Would be nice getting a fix soon. Also for waiting endless for fix on Specter app.

Hey, @nmfretz any news on this?

[Funman2]

? Silence, no reaction or solution in almost 2 Month? Then you should remove Samurai server from your appstore as well if there is no solution for it or specter.
Thats a little dissapointing i gotta say.
