Fix crash when mining with empty keypool.#6567
Conversation
Since the introduction of the ScriptForMining callback, the mining functions (setgenerate and generate) crash with an assertion failure (due to a NULL pointer script returned) if the keypool is empty. Fix this by giving a proper error.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
This could also be triggered if the connected signal listener does not provide a script for other reasons than a non-filled keypool. But yes, right now only a empty keypool would emit this exception.

I agree in principle (that's why the message/error is keypool specific only in the RPC code and not Of course, if in the future more conditions can cause a missing script to be returned, one also needs to add a method to signal the error to the caller with more details. |

This has been broken and fixed multiple times. Thanks a lot for adding a test. |
