`setgenerate` command requires the `genproclimit-cpu` argument when `generate` is set to true.
Describe the issue
Mining will not start if you issue the command:
dynamic-cli setgenerate true
In order to get it to work, you need to specify the genproclimit-cpu
argument.
The documentation states that genproclimit-cpu
is an optional argument. If you set the generate
argument to true, it will not start mining, even if you specify the genproclimit=<some number>
in your dynode.conf
file.
Steps to reproduce
- run
dynamic-cli setgenerate true
- run
dynamic-cli getgenerate
Expected behavior (tell us what should happen)
Mining should start using the last specified value, or -1 (all cores) if no number has been previously specified. If the genproclimit-cpu
argument needs to be specified, then the call should return an error message and the help documentation for the setgenerate
command should be updated to reflect that the field is mandatory if the generate
argument to true.
Actual behavior (tell us what happens instead)
I would expect the result of getgenerate
to be true, but it shows as false.
Help documentation show that the genproclimit-cpu` argument is optional
setgenerate generate genproclimit (genproclimit-gpu)
Set 'generate' true or false to turn generation on or off.
Generation is limited to 'genproclimit' processors, -1 is unlimited.
See the getgenerate call for the current setting.
Arguments:
1. generate (boolean, required) Set to true to turn on generation, false to turn off.
2. genproclimit-cpu (numeric, optional) Set the CPU thread limit for when generation is on. Can be -1 for unlimited.
3. genproclimit-gpu (numeric, optional) Set the GPU thread limit for when generation is on. Can be -1 for unlimited.
Examples:
Set the generation on with a limit of one CPU processor
> dynamic-cli setgenerate true 1
Check the setting
> dynamic-cli getgenerate
Turn off generation
> dynamic-cli setgenerate false

What platform are you using (Linux, Windows, Mac)
Ubuntu 18.04 running Dynamic v2.4.4.1
In addition, using dynamic-cli setgenerate false
does not turn off mining. If you are CPU mining, then you must set genproclimit-cpu
to 0
to stop mining. I would expect to see all mining turned off if the generate
argument is set to false
, but this is not the case.
