Bug / Feature (?) Static Loop in address cannot be filled by lncli closechannel

[TrezorHannes]

lncli closechannel --delivery_addr allows to define an address to send the remaining funds to upon a channel-close.

Considered the idea to have my recent channel-close all go to the static loop in address failed, due to the following error:

lncli closechannel --chan_point ab176bce1b844a6394ababb46c5446673ff5e697927ac2f446bffaf73f6e853e:2 --delivery_addr bc1p5548p39cn67qxse3lrwtducjvxn5tg0gywfpszy6404j4r
m55hys2y45yw --sat_per_vbyte 3
[lncli] rpc error: code = Unknown desc = unable to parse addr for channel ab176bce1b844a6394ababb46c5446673ff5e697927ac2f446bffaf73f6e853e:2: unable to fetch internal key: expected pubkey addr, got <nil>

so apparently lncli errors out because of the defined static delivery address, since it worked without that parameter.

Doublechecked the address twice:

litloop static s
{
    "static_address": "bc1p5548p39cn67qxse3lrwtducjvxn5tg0gywfpszy6404j4rm55hys2y45yw"

So unsure if it's a bug or a missing feature, however my suggestion would be to ensure that lncli can fill a static loop in address on coop-channel closures.

Hey! Thanks for reporting this!
What is your version of LND? (lncli version).

Sure thing!

Notworthy addition, I haven't tested, but this might be a critical to check upfront whether
lncli open --close_address has a similar bug or missing feature. I first thought about just adding this, but now would worry that it creates serious issues on closing that channel.

I'm working on the fix. Please don't deploy yet.
