Local Network : LocalAPIEndpoint could need to be modified

[minimoz]

Hi,

When running a local network, the avalanche blockchain upgrade apply testchain does not work as intended.

By adding the flag --log-level DEBUG I could get a more detailed error:
[02-05|01:50:52.499] INFO ux/output.go:43 Error: 404 Not Found: 404 page not found

So I digged and re-compiled the avalanche-cli binary adding more logs to the code.
From what I found, it seems developers running a local network should change the following property in ./pkg/constants/constants.go:

LocalAPIEndpoint                   = "http://127.0.0.1:9650"

with the correct port (56269 in my case):

LocalAPIEndpoint                   = "http://127.0.0.1:56269"

I suggest we could add a custom flag to the upgrade apply command specifying the local api endpoint port?

Then it worked well and I moved on to the next error:
Looks like this blockchain has not been deployed to this network yet.

Maybe it's because of the other issue I opened -> #2594

Thank you for your help 🙏

Thanks for the feedback. The command is able to work with non sovereign blockchains.
If you create the blockchain with --sovereign=false you should be able to finish the upgrade flow.
We will working on a fix for the sovereign case and respond here.

Thanks for the quick answer again!

I see, so avalanche-cli isn't ready yet to upgrade L1s (sovereign chains)?

I'll wait and continue without upgrades for now.
Thank you!
