Problem Definition

I've tried to reproduce the API calls described in readthedocs. While most of them worked, I couldn't close a channel (and therefore also settle it afterwards).

When I made the following API request [1]

PATCH /api/1/channels/<CHANNEL ID>, with payload {"state":"closed"}

I received:

{
 "partner_address": "0x0075703bf50aebe6755844c0c9b28cdb8f730933",
 "balance": 1050,
 "reveal_timeout": 10,
 "settle_timeout": 100,
 "state": "opened",
 "channel_address": "0xcf312d3743e09ccb7630c185b80d65747479bb6a",
 "token_address": "0x706ffe280b3ab30719212a8b6f4a1b2ac00f0862"
}

Which indicates that the channel state is still open.

Furthermore, I checked the transaction initiated in the parity node on etherscan [2]. The transaction status is TxReceipt Status:Failed
