User Story

Developer performs local installation of package through pip
Developer runs command python -m TauLidarServer
Observe messages reporting camera is connected
Observe messages reporting web server has started

Context

To be able to package this module, we first need to wrap the existing contents of server.py into a function.

References

See this python packaging guide for more info on how to edit a package to be able to call a function from the package using python -m
See the development guide for info on:
- testing server.py locally
- testing the completed TauLidarServer package

@vsemi need your help to wrap the existing contents of server.py into a function

vsemi commented 3 years ago

Moved everything into main function.

@greenbreakfast content of server.py wrapped into main function, will you try build and upload if it works?

@vsemi thanks! I followed the python packaging guide linked above and now we can start the server by running python -m TauLidarServer (as long as the package is installed).

See the updated development guide for instructions on how to install locally and run it.

~~The only problem is the web-server hosts the directory where the python -m TauLidarServer command is run, and not the directory with our index.html~~ ~~I'll look into fixing that.~~ EDIT: commit c57e6d7 fixes the issue. Runs as expected now!
