I am observing unexpected behavior with the Cumulus Parachain Template. Our pallet uses off-chain workers (OCW), and the functionality successfully runs when we attach it to the Substrate Node Template.

However, when I add our pallet to the Cumulus Parachain Template and follow the Connect a Local Parachain guide, the functionality that requires off-chain workers stops running completely.

Is there a reason that OCWs are not initializing on the Cumulus Parachain Template while they do run on the Node Template? Does the chainspec need to be altered in some way?

  • Can you try running your node with the flag: --offchain-worker always and let me know if it solves the issue.

  • @Bruno sadly this does not fix the issue

You are most likely missing the offchain worker initialisation in the service.rs file, like this https://github.com/substrate-developer-hub/substrate-node-template/blob/150c6c9e66bd4e866cfd4704d4d2a16799edc2c0/node/src/service.rs#L205

  • This fixes it, thanks! Put up a PR to add this directly into the Parachain Template Node to prevent others from hitting a similar issue in the future.
