Done! |
When a channel is not yet confirmed onchain and only has an alias, `getroute` will return the alias under the "channel" key. However, if you supply that to `sendpay`, it will not be able to find the channel and will fail since it calls `find_channel_for_htlc_add` and that only looks for channels by their scid and doesn't consider their alias. This patch makes `find_channel_for_htlc_add` also consider channel aliases when looking for channels. Changelog-Fixed: JSON-RPC: `sendpay` now can send to a short-channel-id alias for the first hop.

When a channel is not yet confirmed onchain and only has an alias,
getroutewill (arguably correctly) return the alias under the "channel" key. However, if you supply that tosendpay, it will not be able to find the channel and will fail since it callsfind_channel_for_htlc_addand that only looks for channels by their scid and doesn't consider their aliases.This patch makes
find_channel_for_htlc_addalso consider channel aliases when looking for channels.Partly resolves #5803, but not entirely.
