Common LND Errors

unable to find path to destination

when paying an invoice that you have open channels to.

If you turn on trace or debug logs, and you see this message:

[DBG] CRTR: Mission Control returning prune view of 0 edges, 0 vertexes

This means one of two things:

1. Your channel is inactive (you can check if active is false when running listChannels). docker-compose up -d --force-recreate usually fixes it, it's usually a bad peer connection.

2. Although the channel graph may include your channels, the cached view from Mission Control does not. LND tries to prune routes that are known to be bad, so your channel got pruned (probably because a previous payment failed, peer failed to respond, etc).

There is a way to ResetHistory on Mission Control but it's not (as far as I know) exposed to the public. Instead, your best bet is to close and recreate the channels. :(
