OrientDB: How to use traverse to get edges?

Question

I am trying to use traverse to explore multiple orders of edges away from a specific starting node. For example, using the Grateful Dead graph, I call this command:

traverse bothE('followed_by') from #15:8 while $depth<3

I expect this to get two orders of edges. However, all the edges are ones that include the starting node. If instead I use both('followed_by') it appears to visit all the desired vertices, but it doesn't report the edges. What should I do?

Answer 1

The in edge on #15:8 record is called followed_by, and the out are sung_by, written_by, followed_by, so you can't use followed_by name and get also out edges, even if you use both in your query:

This one should do it:

traverse bothE() from #15:8 while $depth<3
