From #2338: Running:
$ xpra control 0 clipboard-direction help $
Gives no output, but, in logs:
72 │ 2019-06-19 12:22:45,821 error processing control command 'clipboard-direction' 73 │ Traceback (most recent call last): 74 │ File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/xpra/server/server_core.py", line 672, in process_control_command 75 │ v = command.run(*args[1:]) 76 │ File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/xpra/server/control_command.py", line 69, in run 77 │ return super(ArgsControlCommand, self).run(*args) 78 │ File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/xpra/server/control_command.py", line 31, in run 79 │ return self.do_run(*args) 80 │ File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/xpra/server/mixins/server_base_controlcommands.py", line 452, in control_command_clipboard_direction 81 │ assert direction in DIRECTIONS, "invalid direction '%s', must be one of %s" % (direction, csv(DIRECTIONS)) 82 │ AssertionError: invalid direction 'help', must be one of to-server, to-client, both, disabled
I also got this from the client:
2019-06-19 12:24:05,877 unknown server setting changed: clipboard_direction="b'both'"
(I don't know if it helps with anything)
I see:
$ xpra control :2 clipboard-direction help server returned error code 127 error processing control command: invalid direction 'help', must be one of to-server, to-client, both, disabled
Which is fine. I originally changed it in r22995, but r22996 reverts it to ensure that we return a non-zero exit code when things fail.
Please provide more details so I can reproduce: commands used, exact version, exit code, etc..
Server version is v3.0-r22963. So, I guess you can close as already fixed?
