@alexanderbez hey I believe you did the relevant PR, it failing for me could help me out here maybe I set something wrong but we check and could not figure out why it was failing.

@JeancarloBarrios did you try to explicitly pass --home? I do know that Tendermint modified many of its commands.

Yes, I did run the --home flag explicitly.

Ahh yes, that is because tendermint refactored stuff and now depends on a private global (sighhh). See https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/blob/v0.35.5/cmd/tendermint/commands/inspect.go#L53

This issue needs to be moved to the Tendermint repo -- the fix is to not use a global, but the short term solution is to just have the inspect command handler call config, err = ParseConfig()

I added this to the current sprint. If someone is lookng for a small task to do, this should be an easy one.

PR is open in TM, but we're downgrading back to 0.34 so I'm not sure this matters. We should check if the issue is present in v0.34.x

closing this as the inspect cmd wont be coming to tendermint for a little while
