ConductR CLI features should discoverable (TAB completion and/or docs) #45

Closed ktoso closed 9 years ago

For example: It should be easy for a developer who issues startBundle to see it running without exiting sbt. This would be nicest to provide as bridge tasks like conduct:info which call through to the conduct CLI I think.

// Take this as feedback from "first time using this stuff developer", probably not high priority but nevertheless would make the offering feel complete / polished.

bundleInfo and others are there. What's missing?

ktoso commented 9 years ago

Ok, so it's just confusing then.

The way I (and many devs) discover tasks in sbt is via tab completion in "the interesting namespace", our tasks are not defined ... in conductr which makes them not possible to find via:

[reactive-maps] conductr:<TAB>
// I'm expecting conductr tasks to be listed, currently getting nothing

The commands you mention are not listed in the readme, below The following sbt-typesafe-conductr commands are available:, I couldn't TAB-complete to them, so I didn't know about them. There's no sane way to discover them currently. Once you mention the bundle### pattern I'm all like "oh right. sure", but it was hard to find - in a rush I didn't.

Please take this as "first time user feedback" :-)
