Clients between `osmo-test-5` and `theta-testnet-001` are `Expired`

[anilhelvaci]

Context

My purpose is to send uatom from theta-testnet-001 to osmo-test-5 according to the specified channel info here and spinning up my own relayer.

Platform/Software

• OS: MacOS Monterey
• Relayer: Hermes v1.7.2

Problem

I used this command send uatom

hermes --json --config .hermes/test_config.toml  tx ft-transfer --dst-chain osmo-test-5 --src-chain theta-testnet-001 --src-port transfer --src-channel channel-2500 --amount 100 --denom uatom --timeout-seconds 100  | jq .

And here's the result I got:

{
  "result": "transfer error: failed while submitting the Transfer message to chain theta-testnet-001: gRPC call `send_tx_simulate` failed with status: status: Unknown, message: \"failed to execute message; message index: 0: cannot send packet using client (07-tendermint-1977) with status Expired: client is not active [cosmos/ibc-go/v4@v4.4.2/modules/core/04-channel/keeper/packet.go:74] With gas wanted: '0' and gas used: '87037' \", details: [], metadata: MetadataMap { headers: {\"server\": \"nginx\", \"date\": \"Thu, 30 Nov 2023 15:12:25 GMT\", \"content-type\": \"application/grpc\", \"x-cosmos-block-height\": \"19112446\", \"strict-transport-security\": \"max-age=63072000;\", \"x-content-type-options\": \"nosniff\", \"x-frame-options\": \"DENY\", \"access-control-allow-origin\": \"*\", \"access-control-allow-headers\": \"*\"} }",
  "status": "error"
}

When I read between the lines in the result, I saw:

...message: \"failed to execute message; message index: 0: cannot send packet using client (07-tendermint-1977) with status Expired: client is not active...

Then I ran this command to check the status of both clients:

hermes --config .hermes/test_config.toml  query client status --chain theta-testnet-001 --client 07-tendermint-1977
hermes --config .hermes/test_config.toml  query client status --chain osmo-test-5 --client 07-tendermint-13

They both return:

2023-11-30T15:16:24.415520Z  INFO ThreadId(01) running Hermes v1.7.2+c3210fc
SUCCESS Expired

Solution

I don't know if there's anything that can be done to fix an expired client but if there is one, do that. If not, create new client.
