listunspent gives empty set [ ]

[McMurdo]

*Testnet BTC Core Wallet*

getbalance says I have over 0.01 tBTC, but listunspent gives me the empty set: [ ].

What's going on?

Is it in the latest version?
Is the node fully synced?

For now;
Try the GUI, view your unspent outputs from coin control feature:
Settings->Options->Wallet tab, tick "enable coin control features"; Go back to the main window, in the "Send" tab, click "inputs".

This difference can happen even if it's fully synced, but there are still 0 confirmations for the funds. For reference:

By default listunspent uses 1 confirmation and getbalance uses 0 confirmations.

Node is latest version, fully synced, pruned.

It just get's weirder: in bitcoin-qt -testnet it shows available balance of 0.01 tBTC, but in Send > Inputs, there is nothing, quantity = 0, amount = 0.

Do you try it with the mainnet, not testnet? Balance on test net has no real-world value so I think it is likely a possible reason.
