Explorer cannot load transaction

Question

Dear Team,

I'm working with MC 2.0.2  and last version of explorer.  After installing and running with --no-serve I have the following error:

...

block_tx 281 296
block_tx 282 297
Exception at 83395

This problem is not new. You already suggested a way out here:

https://www.multichain.com/qa/16963/explorer-attributeerror-nonetype-object-attribute-startswith?show=16963#q16963

but in my case it doesn't solve.

Can you help me?

Thanks for your support.

Do you know the exact transaction which is causing this problem? If so it would be helpful to see the full raw transaction hexadecimal to we can try to reproduce it.

Answer 1

I add the following snippet at the line #1320 to DataStore.py in order to print out the block height:
 store.log.info("%d",b['height'])

After that I run the command:
python -m Mce.abe --config testnet04.conf --commit-bytes 100000 --no-serve

So I can guess the issue comes from block height #275 or #276

genesis transaction unavailable via RPC; see import-tx in abe.conf
RPC service lacks full txindex

I elaborated further.

The issue arose from an UNKNOWN_TYPE script. I added the following lines to DataStore.py:
            if the_script_type is Chain.SCRIPT_TYPE_UNKNOWN:
                print("UNK")
                print(type(data))
                for x in range(len(data)):
                    print data[x]

and i got the following:

UNK
<type 'list'>
(118, None)
(169, None)
(20, '\xa8\xb6n\xe2\x06\xeeMa\xa1\x1b\xc2\x8f1\xf5\x96\xe6\t\xbdl\x15')

Can you kindly help me ?

Yes, we will look into this asap.

---

The most useful thing would be to see the value of binscript in the case where "the_script_type is Chain.SCRIPT_TYPE_UNKNOWN". That would let us understand which txout is being spent that the Explorer is choking on.

You could also consider just inserting here:

 if the_script_type is Chain.SCRIPT_TYPE_UNKNOWN:
   return

Since there is nothing for this function to do when spending an unknown type of txout anyway.
