vot test works but evaluate does not on VOTS23

[imadtoubal]

Here is the error I get after running

$ vot evaluate NCCPython

A newer version of the VOT toolkit is available (0.6.3), please update.

I am using NCC tracker:

and the vot.py file recommended.

Your case is very strange, can you run with debug enabled because it is not clear where is the problem, the tracker or the toolkit.

[imadtoubal]

@lukacu what do you mean by debug mode? There is no log file generated from the above and I do not see a debug mode in the CLI.

$ vot evaluate --help
usage: vot evaluate [-h] [--force] [--persist] [--workspace WORKSPACE] trackers [trackers ...]

[lukacu]

Argparse produces strange help, It is a global flag that is described if you run "vot -h"

[lukacu]

I assume this issue is now solved, closing.
