Environment Details

• OS: MacOS
• Node Version: v14.18.1
• Yarn Version: v1.22.17
• BitGoJS Version: 14.1.2
• BitGo Environment: testnet

Expected Behavior

I should be able to create a BCH address with format cashaddr

Current Behavior

Error "invalid address: bchtest:pqyynzzfct29s4wljeu8r2e4ltghknvhfcqe6062ue"

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce

const bitgo = new BitGo({ accessToken: "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN", env: "test" });
bitgo.coin("tbch").wallets()
    .get({ id: "YOUR_WALLET_ID" })
    .then(w => w.createAddress({ label: "test", format: "cashaddr" }))
    .catch(console.error));

this method is returning false for bch addresses in cashaddr format:

BitGoJS/modules/abstract-utxo/src/abstractUtxoCoin.ts

Line 327 in 160ef3b

isValidAddress(address: string, forceAltScriptSupport = false): boolean {

Hi @plopezlpz. I was able to replicate your error. The address created is correct but I do see the same returned error. I'm going to initiate fixing this. Thank you!

hi @mmcshinsky-bitgo,

is there any progress on that?

Thank you!

I've tracking down the commit that may be the candidate for throwing an error for bitcoincash. I'm following up with other engineers across timezones so there may be a delay while I receive information on the changes.

At the moment, I recommend:

1. hitting the API directly while we work towards a resolution (safe)
2. wrapping the single createAddress instance in a try/catch and letting the correct error "pass" since the address is being successfully created (not safe)

Would anyone be able to fix these files names?
