I've got a tool based on the functional tests that creates a community on one node, and then has a join function which is supposed to allow me to join the community I just created.

my expectation is that I can create the community on the "prime" node (literally just a status-backend node configured with no bootstrap config, as opposed to the rest of mine which have the prime node as the enode in their bootstrap configs)

and then go to any other node and join that community

Florin says we need to do a fetch before joining the community, I explained we have done so

Issues with waku store

Steps:

Create Kubernetes namespace and deploy main manifests (Anvil deployment)

wings:status-go-test/ (main) $ kubectl create ns status-go-test wings:status-go-test/ (main) $ ./manifests/deploy.sh
Deploy, then destroy the status-backend container created as that is just for testing
Deploy Prime/Alpha node (bootstrap node)

wings:status-go-test/ (main✗) $ kubectl apply -f scenarios/subscription/relay/status-go-configmap.yaml; kubectl apply -f scenarios/subscription/relay/status-go-init-configmap.yaml; kubectl apply -f scenarios/subscription/relay/status-backend-prime.yml
Port forward port 3333 to status-backend on Prime/Alpha node
Create a community


wings:status-go-test/ (main✗) $ python3 main.py                                                                                    [16:33:50]

Finally, this is the issue I'm actually having:

Drop the port forward that we were using to access the Prime node, switch to the normal relay node:
