<p>I have a question about specifying wallet for testnet3. My bitcoin.conf file is located in the root of the Bitcoin folder with the line <code>'wallet = receiving.dat</code> as well as <code>testnet=1</code>. Whenever I run 'getwalletinfo' tho it still shows no name for the walletname and if I delete the default wallet.dat, it autoregenerates. This is on version 0.18.0. </p>

Update: So it appears it's selecting the wallet in the non-test version according to the bitcoin.conf. Now it seems to be how to specify wallet in testnet.

When I specify wallet in bitcoin.conf for testnet3, it gets ignored

I have a question about specifying wallet for testnet3. My bitcoin.conf file is located in the root of the Bitcoin folder with the line `'wallet = receiving.dat` as well as `testnet=1`. Whenever I run 'getwalletinfo' tho it still shows no name for the walletname and if I delete the default wallet.dat, it autoregenerates. This is on version 0.18.0.
