FABRIC returns Error: Got unexpected status: BAD_REQUEST

Question

From fabric document create-join-channel, when I execute the command

peer channel create -o orderer.example.com:7050 -c $CHANNEL_NAME -f ./channel-artifacts/         


        

Answer 1

Please make sure that channel name is new one and that there is no existing channel already with that name in the network.

for example, if you already created a channel with CHANNEL_NAME=mychannel, change the variable before you create another channel, by running something like export CHANNEL_NAME=mychannelanother
