verbose mode with oscap xccdf remediate doesn't work

[ybznek]

Version:
latest oscap version in Fedora24 & latest upstream maint-1.2

oscap xccdf remediate --verbose INFO --verbose-log-file /tmp/verbose.xml --report /tmp/rep.xml /tmp/res.xml

--verbose parameters are correctly validated, but verbose mode doesn't print anything.

/tmp/verbose.xml doesn't exist after command run, so it seems that verbose mode doesn't work completely for this use case.

@jan-cerny I haven't already checked the code. Should it work for such use cases?

[jan-cerny]

@ybznek Verbose mode works only with "oval eval", "oval collect" and "xccdf eval commands". Verbose mode is not allowed together with remediation now. I think it can be implemented easily by enabling those 2 options in appropriate oscap submodule.

@jan-cerny I am confused, are you saying that this is or isn't a bug? Looks like a bug to me if the options are accepted but don't enable verbose mode.

EDIT: I would furthermore check all the oscap submodules and made sure verbose mode gets enabled for every single one of them.

@jan-cerny Could you please take a look at this one for 1.2.13? Looks like an easy fix.

Please take #603 into consideration. 😄
