Preview command breaking ord

[dworak-dev]

After running ord preview command ord doesn't work anymore.

After inspecting the code I'm thinking it might have to do with this line in whic the regtest network is hardcoded. My best guess is that trying to open bitcoind with another network is somehow messing the ord indexes or something.

I'm not experienced in rust but trying to do what I can to fix it.

I deleted the index.redb file and it's re-indexing again, so it makes that indeed the db indexes got messed up with the mix of network.

I think that will fix it for now. For anyone wondering, the file is located in .local/share/ord/index.redb

What error message are you getting? It's hard to know what's going on without an error message to go off of. Please feel free to reopen with the message.

After running the ord preview command once any other command (such as ord wallet balance or ord index) that requieres indexes didn't work at all. No error log, no output, nothing, just blank cursor.

Is it normal that regtest network is hardcoded on the preview command?

Yup! preview spins up a temporary regtest node, publishes the passed inscriptions to that node, and runs an ord server so you can preview them.

I'm not sure if ord commands not working was related, since it uses a tempdir for the data dir, but who knows! I'll repopen this issue for visibility.

I understand now. Thanks for the clarification!
