Bug Report

Description

When I try to accept a request to join a community as an Owner, I get the following log message:

DBG 2025-11-16 21:58:39.950Z NewBE_callPrivateRPC                       topics="rpc" tid=232815 file=core.nim:34 rpc_method=wakuext_acceptRequestToJoinCommunity

So something status-go is not initialized correctly cc @igor-sirotin

Steps to reproduce

0. Have 2 accounts, one of them having a community with on-request ON
1. Send a request with the other account
2. Try to accept

Expected behavior

Request is accepted and user joins

Actual behavior

Nothing happens

Additional Information

• Status desktop version: master
• Operating System: Ubuntu 22

Should be fixed by status-im/status-go#7126

Can't be reproduced on 2.36.0 RC2

No error when accepting manually:

@jrainville can you please re-check on 2.36.0 RC2 ?

[jrainville]

I can still reproduce on the 2.36.x branch. Same error message.

I'll also try the build

Hmm, I created a new account with a new community and it works fine. So maybe it's my old account that has an issue? It was in testnet too, so I wonder if it affected?
