Verbose mode isn't verbose

[varac]

  -v, --verbose         be more verbose, can be given multiple times

I tried giving -v multiple times in order to get any verbosity, but it just don't change anything.

Hey @varac To me this is working fine on master see #180, so please test against master and reopen if issue is still there.

[varac]

Still not giving any output at all to me, running latest master.

⏻  ~  » afew -vvvvvvvv -t --new
⏻  ~  »

Can anybody else please try to reproduce ? I cannot reopen this issue.

[GuillaumeSeren]

Hey @varac please test the issue against the 1.3.0 ?

[varac]

@GuillaumeSeren: Recently I get these tracebacks:

For 1.3.0:

» afew -vvvvvvvv -t --new

Traceback (most recent call last):

Same for latest master:

As verbose mode still don't work (it should be more verbose then this sole traceback right?) I don't have any idea how to fix this.

@varac I still can't reproduce logs verbose mode not being verbose, sorry. Note having 2 -v parameters is already enough for loglevel DEBUG ;-)

The posted traceback is helpful. search_messages() from notmuch.query raised a XapianError, most likely due to a wrongly formatted query string. You might want to add some more debug log statements inside afew/main.py, to get an idea where it's crashing, while checking your afew configuration for invalid queries.

[varac]

@floki: I'll open a seperate issue for the xapian error.

I finally got the verbose mode working, but I needed to install the afew debian package from ubuntu bionic, and remove any self built version of afew. Still a mistery why I couldn't get verbose mode working with self-built afew, but I don't have time to look deeper. Feel free to close this issue if it only affected me.

[flokli]

Not sure about the setup, but I'd suspect some old/broken versions lingering around somewhere and being loaded. As we can't reproduce, I'd close this one.

@floki, the bug is triggered when using python2 instead of python3, see https://github.com/afewmail/afew/issues/180#issuecomment-402825613.
