litecoin-0.13.2 cannot synchronize blocks in testnet mode

[Comer2020]

I have just installed litecoin-0.13.2 which is downloaded from https://litecoin.org. But it cannot synchronize any block. now, it is still at block zero. I check the log and find that none of the connections is good. the log look like:

is it a some protocol error when I connect to testnet?

Litecoin-0.13.2 currently uses testnetv3 which has been abandoned instead for testnetv4. I would suggest to wait for an update with support for testnetv4.

@Comer2020 you should use litecore-litecoin node. It's patched node that supports several new indexes. It's support testnetv4

here is deps that you need

    "litecore-lib": "^0.13.22",
    "litecore-node": "^3.1.11",
    "insight-lite-api": "^0.4.4",
    "insight-lite-ui": "^0.4.6"

and here is litecore-node.json config example:

{
  "network": "testnet",
  "port": 3001,
  "services": [
    "bitcoind",
    "insight-lite-api",
    "insight-lite-ui",
    "web"
  ],
  "servicesConfig": {
    "bitcoind": {
      "spawn": {
        "datadir": "./data",
        "exec": "./node_modules/litecore-node/bin/litecoind"
      }
    }
  }
}

thanks for your all replays.

I want to know when the update of Litecoin-0.13.x to support testnetv4 is available?

[Comer2020]

@APshenkin

I am node.js tyro. I am trying npm install -g litecore-node@latest and find its version is litecore-node@3.1.11.

One question is litecore-node@3.1.11 will still download v0.13.2.1-litecore-rc2 which doesn't support LTC testnetv4.

Another question is that npm will compile litecoin-0.13.2-osx64.tar.gz after downloading. but there are lots of compile error. Can I avoid this compile procedure and download a compiled one instead?

My system is Mac OS

@Comer2020
I tested my configuration on mac too. and don't face any issues.

try not to install deps globaly. Use package.json and install everything localy. Also it doesn't complite anything. it downloads latest relase from github https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecore-litecoin/releases

Try to install curl on your system. Maybe you can't download. And you can check download script here:
https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecore-node/blob/master/scripts/download

And v0.13.2.1-litecore-rc2 supports LTC testenetv4. I'd launched it two days ago. here is confirmation in release notes https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecore-litecoin/blob/909371eb853a34b99f328b7c20b91af7f3cf2af1/doc/release-notes-litecoin.md#reset-testnet
