I am trying to run the bitcoin-cli getdescriptorinfo on a ypub... extended public key. Every time I do this I receive the message:
error code: -5
error message:
Invalid descriptor
How can I determine the correct descriptor for a given ypub?
I am trying to derive the addresses using bitcoin core and import them into my wallet. I am fairly new to using bitcoin-core so I'm not even sure if this is the best way to do this. If not, what other method might I be able to use?

Someone could probably write a tool to convert ypubs and zpubs to descriptor format. I don't think such a tool exists. – Pieter Wuille – 2019-09-05T19:44:26.683
