Export genesis - Block Time

[RafilxTenfen]

Summary of Bug

• When restarting a chain from only an exported genesis (without data/*.db files) the next block time uses genesis time 🤔

• This way if you stop the chain at block height 4 and export the genesis, delete the data/*.db, and restart the chain the block height 5 would use the genesis_time as the time for the new generated block

• When loading the tendermint state it uses the genesis file when there is no state from *.db and then it sets the context LastBlockTime with the genesis time like LastBlockTime: genDoc.GenesisTime and then the context header time is filled with the time from the GenesisTime

• This seems a bit weird because it happens at the tendermint layer, but tendermint doesn't have the export command

Version

• git commit hash: cd27aaaf39cc7819b5164e4baf3fd5aad23ec52a
• gaiad version: v7.0.2

Steps to Reproduce

• Go to gaia v7.0.2
• Build make
• Run this script

./gaia-exported-genesis-timed.sh ./path_to_bin/gaiad-v702

Sounds like a Tendermint/Cosmos SDK issue. genDoc.GenesisTime has a wrong time set.

[robert-zaremba]

So basically this is set to original "block 0" time.

let's close this issue. I created a new one in Tendermint. (see log above)
