Provide a shortcut to do "install + start" #91

Closed matthieucan closed 6 years ago

matthieucan commented 6 years ago

In the Pelix shell, I often find myself running install foo and start bar, bar being the bundle id of foo. A command to install+start would surely be useful!

tcalmant commented 6 years ago

Agreed, as it could also be easily implemented:

if the argument of start is an integer, then its a bundle ID (bundle names can't start with a digit)
else, it's a bundle name, and we can do install+start

tcalmant commented 6 years ago

Fixed. You can now use both methods:

$ install pelix.http.basic
Bundle ID: 14
$ start $?
Starting bundle 14 (pelix.http.basic)...

and

$ start pelix.http.basic
Bundle ID: 14
Starting bundle 14 (pelix.http.basic)...

Note: The $? variable is not set by start as it accepts multiple IDs at once. It is therefore recommended to use install in init scripts if you want to keep track of bundle IDs.

Wow, that was fast :) Thanks a lot!

Some tests must be updated after this change
