I imported a few TestNet addresses and sent some funds to one of them. When I run
bitcoin-cli getaccount mvKoQLrzovNbgALa2D7prh9pagd2QUKpWo
it responds with the account I named it to.
I sent 1.1BTC to that address, as can be seen here but when I run gettransaction it says amount: 0, but everything else looks correct. getbalance also returns 0. What am I doing wrong here?

it seems to be that you are not on the testnet network. and i noticed that you're sending the commands with attaching -testnet
bitcoin-cli -testnet getreceivedbyaddress 'mvKoQLrzovNbgALa2D7prh9pagd2QUKpWo'"
To run Bitcoin on testNet
Stop Bitcoin and open ~./bitcoin/bitcoin.conf using any text editor.
and add testnet=1 save and close.
try bitcoin-cli listunspent 0 9999 you should see the transaction.
Anyway if you were already running it on testnet network
try the following command to get address balance
bitcoin-cli getbalance "" 0 true
Arguments:
"account" (string, optional)
minconf (numeric, optional, default=1) Only include transactions confirmed at least this many times.
include_watchonly (bool, optional, default=false) Also include balance in watch-only addresses.
Thank you so much, Adam! I was running on testnet, but my watchonly was equal to false. You're the man, dude! – Setheroni – 2018-02-22T02:15:04.107
Is there a list somewhere of all the bitcoin.conf options? I can't seem to find one – Setheroni – 2018-02-22T02:21:10.173
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin#Bitcoin.conf_Configuration_File. I believe it's not all the options but the most used ones. – Adam – 2018-02-22T03:05:47.090
"bitcoin-cli -testnet getreceivedbyaddress 'mvKoQLrzovNbgALa2D7prh9pagd2QUKpWo'" returns the correct amount, but balance of the whole wallet still says 0. I'm beyond confused – Setheroni – 2018-02-22T01:29:26.277
