[Bug]: Setting "silent": True in group chats stops the agent's output from printing to the terminal, but the agent's output is still sent to a client via websockets about autogen HOT 8 OPEN

await groupchat_boss_agent.a_initiate_chats(
[
{
"chat_id": 1,
"recipient": 1_search_agent,

@krishnashed would you like to take up this issue? thanks

from autogen.

Ya sure! As this is inline with another issue I'm working on anyways

from autogen.

@krishnashed I think I've tracked it down to the chat.py file:

if chat_info.get("verbose", False): 
    iostream.print(colored("Message:\n" + print_message, "blue"), flush=True)
    iostream.print(colored("Carryover:\n" + print_carryover, "blue"), flush=True)
iostream.print(colored("\n" + "*" * 80, "blue"), flush=True, sep="")

Why would it send messages to the iostream websocket if verbose is False?

Also why would it send messages to the iostream if silent is True?

@tyler-suard-parker ill check chat.py and get back, thanks for the heads up!

from autogen.

@krishnashed I wasn't able to solve this issue, have you been able to make any progress? @davorrunje would you mind giving us some input on this?
