It is possible this issue was resolved in 2.2.6. The FreeBSD ports tree
still references 2.2.5.
I strongly suspect that this is the case, this is why there is a
changelog, and it states for 2.2.6:
* FIX: test action would fail with empty error message when using API
201
And I'm not a FreeBSD expert, but [1] references 2.2.6 as being the
latest version in FreeBSD Ports. Now, [2] states that 2.2.5 is the
version on the latest quarterly branch, whatever it means.
Hope this helps,
Eric

Hello,
Eric and team, thank you for picking up the development of rdiff-backup.
I am in the process of upgrading all of our servers to 2.2.5. My
backup strategy is remote source and local destination. OS is FreeBSD,
Python 3.9, rdiff-backup 2.2.5, on both sides of the connection.
$ rdiff-backup test host::/
WARNING: this command line interface is deprecated and will
disappear, start using the new one as described with '--new --help'.
Testing server started by: b'ssh -C host rdiff-backup
--terminal-verbosity 3 --server'
- Server OK
As I understand it, the warning is coming from the server due to
'--server'. Setting the API version per the docs:
$ rdiff-backup--api-version 201 test host::/
Testing server started by: b'ssh -C host rdiff-backup
--terminal-verbosity 3 server'
- Server tests failed due to ERROR: Action test failed on step run
Test fails. Am I incorrect in my understanding that 2.2.5 has API 201?
What am I missing?
Best,
Charles
