Thanks guys! Thanks to your direction I managed to sign it myself and now have my first transaction of the type indicated
that I signed myself. I am happy!
Without you I couldn't have done it!
Topic: P2WSH Bitcoin Core Witness Script Empty Error (Read 115 times)
Quote
Bitcoin Core doesn't know how to sign non-standard scripts. Script is not easy to analyze, so Bitcoin Core sticks to specific templates and patterns that it can analyze. Your script does not follow any of those patterns, so it is unable to produce any valid signatures. Furthermore, since it doesn't recognize the script, it will not place it in the witness. Thus the transaction you get after using signrawtransactionwithwallet is completely unsigned, and in fact, identical to what you passed in.
Thanks, noted. Does this mean every unlocking script in a P2WSH transaction is non-standard? If yes, does this mean P2WSH redeem scripts are not broadcasted by every client that only broadcasts standard transactions?
Perhaps a better term would be "well known script template".

FWIW you don't need to push data smaller than 76 bytes using OP_PUSHDATA1 since it is wasteful. All you need to do is to use the size itself, which means using 0x02 and 0x14 instead of 0x4c02 and 0x4c14 respectively for the two data pushes which saves 2 bytes.
Thanks for the tip. Noted.

I am trying to spend a P2WSH output. Here are the steps I have taken:
I have created a P2WSH output via bitcoin-cli. These are the details of the P2WSH output:

In order to spend that output, I am first creating a transaction via bitcoin-cli as such:
This outputs the following serialization:
I now try to sign the message:
This does not work however, as I always get the following error:

I have been told this transaction is non standart but I thought the (witness) redeem can be chosen freely?
Thanks for any help.
