Hi everyone,
I'm on Testnet and trying the dumpwallet command.
When I type:
dumpwallet wallet.txt
I get this error: "cannot open wallet dump file (code -8)"
Any ideas why?
Thanks!
Edit: It worked when I type: dumpwallet "C:\Users\
myusername
\Documents\Bitcoin\dumpwallet.txt"

You needed to specify the path for the output file.

It would be nice for a future version of bitcoincore to include a text versions of the error codes so that users can interpret things like -8 means "missing path argument" or something like that without having to post here or grep through source code for the interpretations. Don't get me wrong, error codes are useful and awesome, but eventually it's nice to provide a text based version of the error code along with the numerical one. Really, the numerical one is more useful for API usage.

I will do that, I'm glad you suggested it---I wouldn't have thought to do so otherwise.
