Go-ipfs: Getting "no addresses on peer being sent!" error

Created on 24 Mar 2016  路  7Comments  路  Source: ipfs/go-ipfs

Just installed the go binary 0.3.11 on my Mac OS X, running daemon like explained in the "getting started" guide, and I see errors in the console:

19:38:33.376 ERROR        dht: no addresses on peer being sent!
                    [local:<peer.ID XKKFFa>]
                    [sending:<peer.ID >]
                    [remote:<peer.ID SoLnSG>] handlers.go:73

Not sure what is this. Is it because I ran ipfs diag net?

It seems I am connected well:

ipfs swarm peers | wc -l
100

if it's nothing critical, could it get something like a yellow WARN instead of a red ERROR label? It does look scary for newbies :)

Hey @mitar, I am getting this same issue, not sure what it's complaining about. Did you ever figure out the issue? I'm running v0.4.2 on Ubuntu 16.04.1.

It probably shouldn't be an error.
@firemound do you encounter any other problems apart from that log?

@Kubuxu no, I'm not experiencing any obvious service problems. It is not clear why that error is being logged.

This is not technically an error, but its something we need to fix so that we don't encounter the issue. The problem is that we might have information for a peer, but all the addresses we have for them have expired, leading to us 'knowing' about a peer, but sending an empty response because we don't know any addresses.

TODO: decide what to do in libp2p when we no longer have any valid addresses for a peer. We should probably clear any other info we have about them from the peerstore to save memory.

It's not an error, and expected behavior. this should be lowered to Debug.
