[Bug]: Sign mode textual error if not upper case

[JulianToledano]

Is there an existing issue for this?

What happened?

When trying to send a tx with textual mode it will fail if you don't write it in upper case.

For example

simd tx bank send myAccount cosmos15aptdqmm7ddgtcrjvc5hs988rlrkze40l4q0he 10000uatom --fees 2000uatom --account-number 727172 --chain-id theta-testnet-001  --node https://rpc-t.cosmos.nodestake.top:443 --sign-mode textual

Usage:
  simd tx bank send [from_key_or_address] [to_address] [amount] [flags]

Flags:
  -a, --account-number uint      The account number of the signing account (offline mode only)
      --aux                      Generate aux signer data instead of sending a tx
  -b, --broadcast-mode string    Transaction broadcasting mode (sync|async) (default "sync")
      --chain-id string          The network chain ID
      --dry-run                  ignore the --gas flag and perform a simulation of a transaction, but don't broadcast it (when enabled, the local Keybase is not accessible)
      --fee-granter string       Fee granter grants fees for the transaction
      --fee-payer string         Fee payer pays fees for the transaction instead of deducting from the signer
      --fees string              Fees to pay along with transaction; eg: 10uatom
      --from string              Name or address of private key with which to sign
      --gas string               gas limit to set per-transaction; set to "auto" to calculate sufficient gas automatically. Note: "auto" option doesn't always report accurate results. Set a valid coin value to adjust the result. Can be used instead of "fees". (default 200000)
      --gas-adjustment float     adjustment factor to be multiplied against the estimate returned by the tx simulation; if the gas limit is set manually this flag is ignored  (default 1)
      --gas-prices string        Gas prices in decimal format to determine the transaction fee (e.g. 0.1uatom)
      --generate-only            Build an unsigned transaction and write it to STDOUT (when enabled, the local Keybase only accessed when providing a key name)
  -h, --help                     help for send
      --keyring-backend string   Select keyring's backend (os|file|kwallet|pass|test|memory) (default "os")
      --keyring-dir string       The client Keyring directory; if omitted, the default 'home' directory will be used
      --ledger                   Use a connected Ledger device
      --node string              <host>:<port> to CometBFT rpc interface for this chain (default "tcp://localhost:26657")
      --note string              Note to add a description to the transaction (previously --memo)
      --offline                  Offline mode (does not allow any online functionality)
  -o, --output string            Output format (text|json) (default "json")
  -s, --sequence uint            The sequence number of the signing account (offline mode only)
      --sign-mode string         Choose sign mode (direct|amino-json|direct-aux), this is an advanced feature
      --timeout-height uint      Set a block timeout height to prevent the tx from being committed past a certain height
      --tip string               Tip is the amount that is going to be transferred to the fee payer on the target chain. This flag is only valid when used with --aux, and is ignored if the target chain didn't enable the TipDecorator
  -y, --yes                      Skip tx broadcasting prompt confirmation

Global Flags:
      --home string         directory for config and data (default "/Users/juliantoledanodiaz/.simapp")
      --log_format string   The logging format (json|plain) (default "plain")
      --log_level string    The logging level (trace|debug|info|warn|error|fatal|panic) (default "info")
      --trace               print out full stack trace on errors

How to reproduce?

It looks like the issue is that when you write "TEXTUAL" it defaults to the direct signmode: https://testnet.ping.pub/cosmos/tx/494F74D7F8652614811736548F067C4C63463967A4A2DF64123B4406D1FD625C (see in the json under signer_infos).

The real issue here is that you are setting --node to something else other than localhost but you still get: post failed: Post "http://localhost:26657": dial tcp [::1]:26657: connect: connection refused.

Textual requires connection to a node in order to get denom data. For some reason it's trying to call localhost instead of the passed in node address.

[facundomedica]

Looks like we are overwriting the passed node URI.
Although after fixing it locally, I get another error because that testnet doesn't have textual implemented. Best way to try out is a localnet for now (make localnet-start). Given that it's localhost you shouldn't have any issues testing until we fix this other thing

Hey @JulianToledano! Could you re-try on latest release/v0.50.x and using this branch #17996

Hey @JulianToledano! Could you re-try on latest release/v0.50.x and using this branch #17996

Same as before, it keeps posting to localhost

Okay, and can you give some info about your OS and configuration? I couldn't reproduce locally.

[JulianToledano]

macOS Sonoma version 14.0

GOROOT='~/go/go1.21.0'

I just did a make build from #17996 and tried the same tx bank send

some more info needed?

Thanks! I have been able to reproduce.
