Kovan testnet not syncing beyond 32,321

[adrianbrink]

I'm using the newest build of parity master.

Command

./target/release/parity ui --chain kovan --no-warp

Parity
  version Parity/v1.7.0-unstable-0bd4d5bb0-20170507/x86_64-macos/rustc1.19.0-nightly

I would expect Kovan to fully sync. Any idea why this doesn't work? Also, how to I reset my entire chain history, but ideally only for Kovan.

Should be fixed in the PR above. To reset the Kovan chain use parity db kill --chain kovan.

Sadly, after git pull, git checkout revert-aura, cargo build --release, and parity db kill --chain kovan the result is the same.

[adrianbrink]

The issue still persists

[keorn]

Please check with the current branch, works fine for me.

[lgpawel]

After re-cloning the repo, git submodule init and update, and cargo build --release, unfortunately cannot confirm. The version number I get is Parity/v1.7.0-unstable-8146cbdae-20170510/x86_64-linux-gnu/rustc1.17.0.

[keorn]

You will need git checkout revert-aura, its the pending fix.

[lgpawel]

OK, seems to work now. Thanks!

@adrianbrink Have you tried as well?
