"iwctl station DEVICE get-networks" no longer working (iwd-1.19-1)?

I am finding that the following no longer works (in command line mode):

iwct station DEVICE scan
iwct station DEVICE get-networks

get-networks never prints the results.

other commands work fine, like

iwctl station DEVICE show

or

iwctl station list

and a few others.

everything works fine in interactive mode -- just not in command line mode.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yup.

I have a dmenu script that normally prints out the networks so I can graphically select and connect to networks. It relies on the console command version.

Well, I had to connect to a public network today. My script was not showing the network names, so I typed the command manually in the terminal and nothing showed up.

The command works after downgrading to iwd-1.18, so it seems that iwd-1.19 broke the functionality of that command specifically. Weird.

This was a bug. I reported it, and the fix was already committed before my report. It's been fixed in 1.19-2
