Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Notice that one (now at least 2 missing have been discovered) of my reliable solar nodes is missing my node list. Tried all communications of filters and sort, including manual search.
  2. Ask friend when they last saw it, responds that it's currently in their list and responding to traceroutes.
  3. Attempt to import node from URL sent by them. Still does not appear. No error messages or other events after hitting "import", as shown in video below.
  4. Send traceroutes to other nodes in the general area, the missing node shows up in the traceroute with it's NodeID.
  5. Force stop app, try again. Nothing.
  6. Restart phone, still nothing.
  7. Check Wismesh Tap V2, missing node indeed appears in it's list.

Actual behavior

Node never appears in node list, despite appearing in traceroutes and in the log while importing the contact. Have not reset nodedb, as I'm monitoring some sensors for trends and don't want to lose the data for those at this time.

Expected behavior

I expected the node to self populate as they normally do. I'm not sure if this is the only missing one, but it's one that has been reliable for the last 2 years so was quickly observed when it went missing.
