Inspect cosmos-sdk db? about iavl

same? any insight?

For me, one of the devs put a timestamp into the chain (which isn't a good idea). That was the root cause in our case

Sorry for the late reply here! The Cosmos SDK may not be persisting data to disk, which is why you're seeing an empty database. I believe the default setting only persists every 100,000 heights, so during development you may want to change the pruning settings to persist every block to disk (--pruning nothing or something similar).

That'll do it - glad to hear you found the problem!

Let us know if changing the pruning settings don't help.

good tip on the pruning. Also, worth noting that setting pruning on cosmos v0.37 is broken! (works in v0.38 though). So you can't have a pruning setting other than default on that version.

@cbarraford, 0.37 is marked as broken in the release. See the release notes. It's recommended to use 0.38.x
