Trying to create a watch only wallet descriptor in bitcoin core client.

```
bitcoin-cli -named createwallet wallet_name=mywallet descriptors=true

```

This just returns an error: method not found. Furthermore running the command with -testnet returns that the server is not enabled, make sure using correct rpcport.

Any help greatly appreciated.
