[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] Commented: (ASTERISK-20281) "core set verbose" behaves strangely, can't alias it, cli.conf example broken

Jonathan Rose commented on ASTERISK-20281:
------------------------------------------

At first this seemed to me like it was working perfectly, but I think I've figured out what the deal is...

I normally run in foreground mode.  This bug affects remote console operation only. The alias is aliasing the command that you would get when running in foreground mode and when you are running it through a remote console you still have access to that aliased command which obviously isn't normal.

> I ran into some problems with 'core set verbose' that really confused me for a while.
> It looks like in asterisk 11, there's now two versions of this command, one inside rasterisk and one in asterisk itself.
> The first thing I did "wrong" was create an alias in cli_aliases.conf "set verbose=core set verbose". This caused two different versions of the command to be exposed to me, depending on whether or not I used the "core" prefix. This was very confusing, since one was aliased to the other.
> Also, I tried uncommenting the 'core set verbose 3 = yes' line in cli.conf. This doesn't work anymore.
> Eventually I figured out that there's two versions of the command in asterisk now, one in asterisk.c and one in cli.conf. Reading the one in asterisk.conf, I figured out that I needed to edit /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf to set a default verbose level.
> So, I think we need to either somehow make the expected behavior work, or remove the cli.conf example, maybe put a warning there not to do that, and warn/disallow aliasing it. And maybe remove the duplicate function, but that's tricky because it's also the 'core set debug' command, which I believe is still implemented only in cli.conf and not handled by the rasterisk client.
