namadac commission-rate failing

[honeygoyal120]

Trying to change the commission-rate of validator says the address is not a validator

root@vmi1485351:~# namadac commission-rate --validator 1

Output:

Address tnam1qy58exql4j3wytpfstyvj76umxd8avzq3qlxn2vm is not a validator (did not find commission rate and max change)

While the become-validator command says that the address is already a validator

root@vmi1485351:~# namada client become-validator --address 1 --signing-keys phoenixv110 --commission-rate 1 --max-commission-rate-change 1 --email [email protected] --memo tpknam1qq78mp640t445hjju35sz8kjhs2c9wc05jxuelx6e28kq4xunepfjdc8kcd --node https://namada.makingmemories.xyz

Output:

The given address tnam1qy58exql4j3wytpfstyvj76umxd8avzq3qlxn2vm is already a validator

Hmm. first why are you passing 1 as the --validator arg? Did you ever initialize this address tnam1qy58exql4j3wytpfstyvj76umxd8avzq3qlxn2vm as a validator before as well?

Ok I see what is going on here. You initialized your validator in epoch 84, and the SE is currently at epoch 85. Your validator account will only become active at the pipeline epoch relative to when you initialized it (2 epochs later), so at epoch 86. In this current epoch, your address is not yet a validator account. However, passing --epoch 86 to some commands will give you the information you desire. For example,

namadac commission-rate --validator tnam1qy58exql4j3wytpfstyvj76umxd8avzq3qlxn2vm --epoch 86 --node http://159.203.161.252:26657
Validator tnam1qy58exql4j3wytpfstyvj76umxd8avzq3qlxn2vm commission rate: 1, max change per epoch: 1

namadac validator-state --validator tnam1qy58exql4j3wytpfstyvj76umxd8avzq3qlxn2vm --epoch 86 --node http://159.203.161.252:26657
Validator tnam1qy58exql4j3wytpfstyvj76umxd8avzq3qlxn2vm is inactive

Btw, namadac commission-rate is used to just query the commission info. If you want to change it, you need to use namadac change-commission-rate
