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

Thanks for the update :)

Does the internal verbose setting (the one only accessible when setting the alias) still do anything, and if so, what?

If it doesn't do anything, can't you just remove the command? That would make trying to alias it throw an error when you actually used the aliased command, instead of pretending to work.

Also, your note on the wiki is titled "Verbose/Debug setting changes" but you don't actually mention the 'core set debug' command in that section.

> 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.
