You can get help with -h. #7

Closed mixmix closed 9 years ago

mixmix commented 9 years ago

no you can't

installed with npm install -g scuttlebot then running sbot -h gives : Invalid command

propose there is an sbot --help option. I might take a stab at a pull request for it if I can find the relevant files.

What version of scuttlebot are you running? (Type sbot version). The current version (7.3.0) has full live help, and (for me) will output it if you do either sbot, sbot -h, or sbot --help.

mixmix commented 9 years ago

nope

mixmix commented 9 years ago

I get the same results with the sbot I've just built from my pull request (7.3.0)

I'm trying npm install -g scuttlebutt in the hopes that I get a newer version ? nope, exactly the same. Is there anything else I might have missed ?

pfrazee commented 9 years ago

What server are you running? Do you possibly have patchwork running?

pfrazee commented 9 years ago

I bet that's what's happening. Patchwork embeds scuttlebot 7.0.2. The version command is actually outputting the cli client's version, not the server version. We should make it output the server version.

mixmix commented 9 years ago

yes I am.. good catch, I thought the system would treat them differently (I don't understand that magic yet)

mixmix commented 9 years ago

(that's what happened when I stopped patchwork)

how misleading

pfrazee commented 9 years ago

Yeah, we don't have a satisfactory setup for this yet, because our plans are wrapped up in Brickhouse, which isn't ready yet.

For a non-brickhouse solution. I don't want Patchwork to embed a Scuttlebot, I'd rather it use an outside sbot as a server.

Ok, I created https://github.com/ssbc/scuttlebot/issues/250 to address some of the confusion we had here, and we have standing issues to deal with how patchwork and sbot's relationships need to be made simpler and more clear.

Closing this issue.

Sweet, thanks for that. And thanks for taking time to respond to me muddling around all up here

No sweat, sorry for the trouble here. This is a nasty spot I'm trying to solve.

:pineapple: Keep up the good work

@pfraze what is stopping patchwork from embedding the latest version of scuttlebot?

pfrazee commented 9 years ago

Nothing, just need to update it. What I want to do, though, is not embed sbot, because it's not a repeatable pattern in other applications (unless they maintain a separate data directory)

dominictarr commented 9 years ago

yes. I think it's a reasonable special case though, during the brickhouse bootstrapping process
