[bug]: rest endpoint v2/wallet/address/next not returning an address

[Fonta1n3]

Background

https://localhost:8080/v2/wallet/address/next
With (and without) param body: ["type": 1]
Is returning:

["code": 5, "details": <__NSArrayM 0x600003050a20>(

)
, "message": Not Found]

Your environment

• version of lnd: 0.18.2-beta
• which operating system (uname -a on *Nix): macOS
• version of btcd, bitcoind, or other backend: Bitcoin Core v26.2

Steps to reproduce

When I run the above endpoint I expect an address to be returned, however I am getting an empty array.

Expected behaviour

Return an address.

Actual behaviour

See above..

Are you sending a POST request? And are you running a release build or a self-compiled binary?

[Fonta1n3]

Yes POST, and I compiled from source git checkout v0.18.2-beta. Previously I didn't need to pass any params. Ive also tried ["type": "WITNESS_PUBKEY_HASH"] and "p2wkh". I am on regtest.

lncli -network regtest newaddress p2wkh returns an address fine. Not sure what I am doing wrong...

[guggero]

Then you need to compile with the correct build tags. See https://lightning.engineering/api-docs/api/lnd/index.html#experimental-services.
So in your case make build tags="walletrpc" to enable that specific subserver.

Also, ["type": "WITNESS_PUBKEY_HASH"] is not valid JSON. It would need to be {"type": "WITNESS_PUBKEY_HASH"}.

Converting to a discussion as this is troubleshooting and not a bug.

[Fonta1n3]

Yes I'm converting the dict to json data before making the request. Thanks, was not aware those needed to be activated when building from source, all working fine.
