[Linphone-developers] commands ignored when sent in quick succession (3.11.x)

[Henrik Pauli]

It seems that there was a regression between linphonec/linphoned 3.9 
(and earlier) and 3.11 as sending two commands very close to each other 
has always worked, but now only the last command runs in 3.11

The pasted command is:

autoanswer enable
answer

So two commands, new line inbetween.  3.11 only runs the last command, 
whereas the exact same situation has resulted in all commands being run 
in the past:

address@hidden bin]$ ./linphonec -v
version: 3.11.2
address@hidden bin]$ ./linphonec
Ready
Warning: video is disabled in linphonec, use -V or -C or -D to enable.

linphonec> Registration on sip:************* successful.
linphonec> autoanswer enable
answer
There are no calls to answer.

I built the 3.11 myself, with the linphone-desktop repo, leaving out the 
to me unnecessary GUI and Video... it doesn't seem to pick up Readline 
though (I'm on Fedora 24).  A coworker has installed the same version of 
Linphone from the official repo you guys have for Centos users, and that 
too doesn't have Readline in it, and exhibits the same issue with 
commands.  The CMake build doesn't have an option to explicitly enable 
or disable Readline, but it doesn't seem to work regardless of whether I 
have readline-devel installed on my system during build.

The regression might just be that the non-readline code path has been 
buggy for a long time, but we've always used readline-enabled Linphones 
and so we never noticed.  I haven't noticed any strange difference in 
the code with git diff 3.9.1..3.11.2 console/
