Also.. If I add

no-macaroons=true
adminmacaroonpath=~/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/testnet/admin.macaroon
readonlymacaroonpath=~/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/testnet/readonly.macaroon
invoicemacaroonpath=~/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/testnet/invoice.macaroon

to lnd.conf it makes no difference.

TEMP FIX:

mkdir -p ~/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet/
cp ~/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/testnet/* ~/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet/

@miketwenty1 Try passing --network=testnet to lncli?

[miketwenty1]

Yes this works, is this a mandatory param for lncli even if lnd.conf is specified with testnet?

Yes since the client is stateless. One suggestion is to use alias tlncli=“lncli --network=testnet”, and similar for simnet
