bitcoin-cli getinfo error code: -28

1

OSX Sierra

it seems all the other command bitcoin-cli working on my Mac, except,

bitcoin-cli getinfo only always returns an error.

$ bitcoin-cli getinfo error code: -28
error message:
Rewinding blocks...

Why does it happen?

Wait a few minutes and the error will be gone.

The source code defines error 28 as

Client still warming up

thank you for reply. After waiting 20 minutes, message was changed into "error code: -32601 error message: Method not found"user6894661 2017-09-21T03:48:12.573

That's because getinfo was removed. It's marked as deprecated with a warning in 0.15, but apparently you're running master (which will become 0.16, with getinfo removed).Pieter Wuille 2017-09-21T05:21:25.217

You should use getwalletinfo, getblockchaininfo, getpeerinfo, getnetworkinfo, ... to request more specific information.Pieter Wuille 2017-09-21T05:22:16.853

I tried these commands you showed then I got return! Thank you!user6894661 2017-09-21T10:49:46.137
