Are you sure that you have set getAll=True while invoking that method?

• assigned_to: nobody --> xqt

Yes, of course. It is quite obvious that the following code won't allow to load the rest of revisions by setting thisHistoryDone to True:
if len\(result\['query'\]\['pages'\].values\(\)\[0\]\['revisions'\]\) < revCount:
thisHistoryDone = True

Am I missing anything?

first of all \_getVersionHistory\(\) is an internal method and you shouldn't use it directly. Use getVersionHistory\(\) instead. The the condition is quite right. Try the following statements:

import pywikibot as pwb
p = pwb.Page\('de', 'user talk:xqt'\)
h = p.getVersionHistory\(getAll=True\)
len\(h\)

which gives 4250 entries \(yet\).

Changing the condition will return 500 entries only.

Changing the condition still returns 4250 entries for me \(have you missed the "not getAll and " part in my code?\)

But if I use fullVersionHistory instead of getVersionHistory, it returns only 192 entries for me. I.e. try the following code:

import wikipedia as pywikibot
p = pywikibot.Page\('de', 'user talk:xqt'\)
h = p.fullVersionHistory\(getAll=True\)
print len\(h\)

Any updates? Are you able to reproduce this issue?

h = p.getVersionHistory(getAll=True) returns the full history.

h = p.fullVersionHistory(getAll=True) returns 192 entries (now more ...).
Reason is that result might not be 'revCount' long also when 'query-continue' is returned, due to:

{u'result':{u'*': u'This result was truncated because it would otherwise be larger than the limit of 12582912 bytes'}}

So it is not enough to check only that len() < revCount to declare that thisHistoryDone = True.
