[Question] consumer chain relayer configuration problem

[Roc8Trppn]

Hi,

I have a problem to get the provider to validate the consumer (running both locally on the same machine).

I've followed this article [https://tutorials.ignite.com/build-your-interchain-security-consumer-chain/]

And to summarise the steps:

1. cloned and set-up the provider
2. scaffolded a consumer chain via ignite
3. created and voted with yes on a consumer addition proposal
4. waited for the spawn time to pass
5. copied ccvconsumer part into genesis.json of the consumer chain
6. run the consumer with interchain-security-cd binary

Now the next step would be:

• create a connection hermes create connection --a-chain <consumer chain ID> --a-client 07-tendermint-0 --b-client <provider chain client ID>

and here is where I get the error:

hermes query client status --chain ccv-1 --client 07-tendermint-0 2024-12-17T17:18:20.125168Z INFO ThreadId(01) using default configuration from '/Users/username/.hermes/config.toml' 2024-12-17T17:18:20.126545Z INFO ThreadId(01) running Hermes v1.10.4+542e14f 2024-12-17T17:18:20.465493Z WARN ThreadId(01) Failed to fetch version specs for chain 'ccv-1': ABCI query returned an error: AbciQuery { code: Err(26), log: "interchain-security-c is not ready; please wait for first block: invalid height", info: "", index: 0, key: [], value: [], proof: None, height: block::Height(0), codespace: "sdk" } 2024-12-17T17:18:20.465915Z WARN ThreadId(01) Will fall back on using the node version: 0.38.9 ERROR error decoding protobuf: error converting message type into domain type: the client state was not found

also when i run hermes start I always get the error

2024-12-17T17:14:00.485616Z ERROR ThreadId(01) spawn: failed to spawn worker for a chain, reason: query: gRPC call query_clients failed with status: status: Unknown, message: "codespace sdk code 26: invalid height: interchain-security-c is not ready; please wait for first block", details: [], metadata: MetadataMap { headers: {"content-type": "application/grpc"} } 2024-12-17T17:14:00.494022Z DEBUG ThreadId(19) event_so

So, if I understood correctly, in order to validate the first block of the consumer chain, there has to be an active IBC channel in order to send the validator set from the provider to the consumer.
But in order to establish a proper connection, the consumer needs to be at least at height 1 (i.e. have the 1 block validated) 🤯

Quite a dead end here!

I'd really appreciate any sort of help here...Even just to figure out if it is a relayer issue or a interchain-security issue...
