Description

🐞 Bug Report

Description

When running charon alpha test peers, the test often gets hung up trying to connect to itself ( Ping to peer failed, retrying in 3 sec...) despite knowing the peer ID it is running as. Peer test is probably most useful testing external peers, not the local node. This also seems to affect the score given at the end.

Has this worked before in a previous version?

Not that I can tell.

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

🔥 Error

Ping to peer failed, retrying in 3 sec... {"peer_name": "[MYSELF]"}

Research direction

Start by running charon alpha test peers and tracing the peer-test entry point that handles the [MYSELF] ping failure. Confirm the self peer is identified during testing, then verify that self-testing no longer hangs or lowers the final score while external peer checks still run.
