TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'list' objects

 

Here's the last few lines of the stacktrace. Any clue what's going on? I don't know if this is a coincidence or not but I was following the getting started tutorial and at one point I ran the getblock 83 command (I also mistyped it as getblock [83] and getblock [83 not sure if relevant), and I notice that the exception is thrown at that exact block.

Comments

We've forwarded this to the right person and will be in touch shortly.

I've been following the getting started guide and am getting the same error, would be interested to know what the resolution is.

Hi Guy, sharing what worked for me, whenever you name your keys in your publishes, don't use any space, like "account number", instead use dashes, "account-number". Then you will get a really clean stack trace.

You won't see this anymore:

TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'list' objects

@Ivaylo @karlstc Can you please zip up your .multichain/chain1 folder and email it to me, along with your explorer folder (containing your .conf and .sqlite file)?  Email to simon at coinsciences dot com. 

Also please let me know which version of MultiChain you are using e.g. v24 or v25.  Thanks.
