Address doesn't belong to the wallet while I created the address with wallet RPC "create_address"

[devilrayzl]

1. curl http://127.0.0.1:18082/json_rpc -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"create_address","params":{"account_index":0,"label":"new-sub"}}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' With this RPC interface I created an sub address. 2.curl http://127.0.0.1:18082/json_rpc -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"get_address_index","params":{"address":"7BnERTpvL5MbCLtj5n9No7J5oE5hHiB3tVCK5cjSvCsYWD2WRJLFuWeKTLiXo5QJqt2ZwUaLy2Vh1Ad51K7FNgqcHgjW85o"}}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' However, while I check this address with RPC get_address_index, it returns Address doesn't belong to the wallet.

How is that happen?And is there any way to get this address back? Since I send some XMR coin to the address. May get some help?

Subaddresses are deterministic, there is no way to "lose" a subaddress. Are you sure you opened the same wallet in both cases?

sanity check:

create_address

curl http://127.0.0.1:18081/json_rpc -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"create_address","params":{"account_index":0,"label":"new-sub"}}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json''

Yes,I'm sure. I had create about 500 hundred subaddresses, some of them could list by wallet some not. Really weird.

Yes, I'm going to run this way now. But I think there is a bug maybe for creating subaddress.

[selsta]

Did you make sure to save the wallet after creating them? Otherwise you have to recreate them.

[devilrayzl]

I'm sure about saving the wallet. As you know, I could actually get the index of most addresses. Not all of the addresses are not belong.

[plowsof]

apologies for the dumb sanity check @devilrayzl - i was unaware that 'the wallet file must be saved after creating the subaddress' else they will not "belong to the wallet" -> if this is true , and the get_address_index is simply searching the file for an address - and is not a deterministic process - there is a possibility - if the address was not written to file, it 'could happen'.

• to confirm the address actually belongs to the wallet i would suggest you use something like monero-python , to create addresses offline , and then see if it exists (enter them into a database or just a list in memory)

[selsta]

Try to open that wallet with monero-wallet-cli, enter address all and show what is says under the address with the index it should be.

I also encountered this problem. Why are some addresses in my wallet address list missing, and the balance has not increased after being transferred to this address
