[Freeswitch-users] Wrong number of tries with originate_retries?

[Valli A. Vallimamod]

Hi,

In the source code (switch_ivr_originate() in switch_ivr_originate.c from latest master branch), valid values for originate_retries are between 1 and 100 with default to 1.

And the originate loop looks like this:

  for (try = 0; try < originate_retries; try++) {
      if (try > 0)
          wait(originate_retry_min_period_ms);
      dial();
  }

So its compliant with what you observe. The name of the variable may be misleading and the documentation looks incorrect.



Best Regards,
