I am running the following request to load a wallet. curl --location 'user:[email removed]:8332/wallet/test_multisig"' \ --header 'Content-Type: text/plain' \ --data '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method":"loadwallet", "params": ["test_multisig"], "id": "test_multisig_wallet_load" }' It returns... {"result":null,"error":{"code":-35,"message":"Wallet \"test_multisig\" is already loaded."},"id":"test_multisig_wallet_load"} However I then run this exact request, and receive an error as if the wallet is not loaded. curl --location 'user:[email removed]:8332/wallet/test_multisig"' \ --header 'Content-Type: text/plain' \ --data '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method":"importdescriptors", "params":{ "requests":[{ "desc":"pkh(cSQPHDBwXGjVzWRqAHm6zfvQhaTuj1f2bFH58h55ghbjtFwvmeXR)", "active": false, "range": 20, "next_index": 0, "timestamp": "now", "internal": false, "label": "test_multisig_wallet" }] } }' Error... {"result":null,"error":{"code":-18,"message":"Requested wallet does not exist or is not loaded"},"id":null} How can I import descriptors into a wallet so the wallet has a sequence of addresses?

I feel your pain, I do think that these APIs need some more love at the level of usability. I am planning to spend some time on it because I had some problems too. But before calling it a bug, we need to try to check if the workflow is the correct one. Step 1: Create a wallet; Step 1.1: Check if the wallet exists, if yes load it (in the URL you do not need to specify the /wallet/<name_wallet> ) Step 2: import your descriptors (you should work) From the error that you gave, and from my experience I think your wallet is not loaded, maybe because you are using the wrong URL (and here the question is why core is not failing?) Keep us posted!
