Expected behavior I should get a successful running testnet as detailed in the docs: https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-node-wiki/wiki/launching-a-testnet Although the docs seem out of date, thus need to be updated.

Can you use latest master or do you require to run latest mainnet node version? There were some tweaks and fixes to the testnet since 8.9.2.

[koslambrou]

As a user wanting to e2e test my Cardano DApp, I want both capabilities.

I want to test on a node which is essentially the same as the one used on mainnet so that I can be confident that by DApp will function correctly.

I also want to test on a node which represents the next version so that I can start preparing for the next release, and fix any issue. This will allow updating my DApp much earlier in the process.

Does that make sense?

[carbolymer]

Can you try to use cardano-cli-8.20.3 instead? 8.22 is not a release for mainnet.

[koslambrou]

Thanks @carbolymer. Seems like using an incompatible cardano-cli version was the issue. I can enter the shell just fine now.

Is there some documentation somewhere outline which versions of cardano-cli are compatible with which versions of cardano-node? I think something similar would be needed for cardano-api.

[carbolymer]

If you go to the node release page https://github.com/IntersectMBO/cardano-node/releases/tag/8.9.2 then in the Changelogs section in Individual packages' changelogs subsection you can find the versions of the compatible dependencies.

There's also compatibility matrix: https://docs.cardano.org/release-notes/comp-matrix - but CLI is not included there (yet).

[koslambrou]

Nice! Thanks for those links.

What do you think of putting the compatibility matrix in cardano-node README for better visibility? Or maybe mention in the README for the user to take a look at the release notes for the compatibility matrix?

Additionally, how did you know I had to use cardano-cli-8.20.3 when the release page points to cardano-cli-8.16.0.1?

Yeah, that's a good idea. We should do that.

Where does it mention 8.16.0.1?
