olm verification cancels with `matrix: The interactive device verification with user got canceled: Error: No devices could be verified.`

When I try to verify the weechat-matrix session using /olm verification start <user> <session id of other session> the procedure works until both sides have verified and it displays:

matrix: The interactive device verification with user got canceled: Error: No devices could be verified.

same here. I tried to reset everything and this always happens. Both party state that the other side canceled the request. Also if I try to initiate the verification from Element, I get "An error occurred, please try again later". Verification of any other clients work as expected

The verification flow has changed since the introduction of cross signing and clients have gradually become unable to do the old flow. This version of weechat-matrix won't get support for the new flows, though I am currently working on support for this in the Rust plugin.

Oh ok, thanks! Is weechat-matrix-rs already usable or is it too early to replace it?

It's usable though it doesn't have feature parity with the python script: https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix-rs/milestone/1.

The storage will have breaking changes as well, so you might need to wipe the state occasionally, that being said some people use it.
