We've created a custom terminal_plugin for Ansible to be able to support our storage devices. Although it's working as expected for correctly typed commands, it's having issues when a command is being misentered. We would prefer to handle command line misentries as errors, because the storage device will start the new prompt with the misentered command.
We're currently using the following regular expressions as terminal_stdout_re and terminal_stderr_re:
terminal_stdout_re = [
re.compile(br"[\r\n]?.+>(?:\s*)$"),
re.compile(br"[\r\n]?.+>(?:\s*.*)$"),
]
terminal_stderr_re = [
re.compile(br"\^"),
re.compile(br"error:", re.I),
]
Example of a command line misentry on the storage device:
admin:/>add part
^
port port_group
admin:/>add part
Even though we've included the \^ expression in the terminal_stderr_re list, it's not detecting the command line misentry as an error. Any idea what's going wrong?

Here is the case;
There is this app called "termux" on android which allows me to use a terminal on android, and one of the addons are androids API's like sensors, tts engines, etc.
I wanted to make a script in ruby using this app, specifically this api, but there is a catch:
The script:
require('json')
JSON.parse(%x'termux-sensor -s "BMI160 Gyro" -n 1')
-s = Name or partially the name of the sensor
-n = Count of times the command will run
returns me:
{
"BMI160 Gyroscope" => {
"values" => [
-0.03...,
0.00...,
1.54...
]
}
}
I didn't copied and pasted the values, but that's not the point, the point is that this command takes almost a full second the load, but there is a way to "make it faster"
If I use the argument "-d" and not use "-n", I can specify the time in milliseconds to delay between data being sent in STDOUT, it also takes a full second to load, but when it loads, the delay works like charm
And since I didn't specify a 'n' number of times, it never stops, and there is the problem
How can I retrieve the data continuously in ruby??
I thought about using another thread so it won't stop my program, but how can I tell ruby to return the last X lines of the STDOUT from a command that hasn't and will not ever stop since "%x'command'" in ruby waits for a return?
If I understood you need to connect to stdout from a long running process.
see if this works for your scenario using IO.popen:
# by running this program
# and open another terminal
# and start writing some data into data.txt
# you will see it appearing in this program output
# $ date >> data.txt
io_obj = IO.popen('tail -f ./data.txt')
while !io_obj.eof?
puts io_obj.readline
end
I found out a built in module that saved me called PTY and the spawn#method plus thread management helped me to keep a variable updated with the command values each time the command outputted new bytes
I have a JMeter script, where I have some user defined Variables like FILE_SAVE_PATH. This script should be started on a command line with parameter -J. So in the GUI, I changed the value for the variable FILE_SAVE_PATH to ${__P(FILE_SAVE_PATH, "C:\svn\trunk\dir")}, because the test should save there a file, but only on my machine. On the machine, where the script will be started from command line, it should save the file into another path.
My problem is now this: When I test this JMeter script on my machine in the GUI, I get an output of this:
About to replace in property of type: class org.apache.jmeter.testelement.property.StringProperty: ${__P(FILE_SAVE_PATH, "C:\svn\trunk\dir")}
2017/04/04 17:09:38 DEBUG - jmeter.testelement.property.AbstractProperty: Not running version, return raw function string
2017/04/04 17:09:38 DEBUG - jmeter.engine.util.ValueReplacer: Replacement result: ${__P(FILE_SAVE_PATH, "C:\svn\trunk\dir")}
But I think, the last line should be something like this:
2017/04/04 17:09:38 DEBUG - jmeter.engine.util.ValueReplacer: Replacement result: "C:\svn\trunk\dir"
So, how to change the test to get the result I want?
Escape every backslash with another one - C:\\svn\\trunk\\dir, or use unix slash, JVM's gonna handle it right: C:/svn/trunk/dir
And remove the doublequotes, they're not needed.
P.S. I presumed you're not using that notation in the Beanshell/JSR223 context. If you do - stop there and use the legit way to access properties.
I'm trying to run a Perl script called WyD using Cygwin on Windows. Cygwin is installed at C:\cygwin64, and WyD is installed at C:\wyd\wyd.pl. Both are in the Windows PATH environment variable as C:\cygwin64 and C:\wyd respectively.
When running WyD with bash/Mintty using:
wyd.pl -b -e -t -s 3 -o "OUTPUTTEDWORDLIST" "TARGETFOLDER"
...I get the following error:
Can't locate object method "init" via package "wlgmod::odt" (perhaps
you forgot to load "wlgmod::odt"?) at /cygdrive/c/WYD/wyd.pl line 284.
Sometimes wlgmod::odt is replaced with wlgmod::doc or any other document type, but running the script always generates that same basic error. A previous answer to this question recommended installing several dependencies, which turned out to be a mere copy-paste of an answer for Ubuntu systems, and didn't solve the error, so I've decided to start at the beginning and re-ask the question with more details. I also have all Perl packages in the Cygwin installer installed.
After everything I've tried and done to get this script working, I can personally think of two possible causes for the error. Think of these as a guide more than anything else.
The error above references line 284 in the wyd.pl script, so it's possible that something in that script is hardcoded so that it doesn't work with Cygwin/Windows, or just generally has a compatibility bug. I don't understand Perl, so I can't confirm this.
I notice that the installation of WyD at C:\wyd contains a folder called wlgmod, and that folder contains all the files that the above error seems to be looking for; doc.pm, html.pm, jpeg.pm, etc. If those files exist in that directory but bash is unable to find them, maybe it's due to the fact WyD needs to be run from within Cygwin itself. I've only recently thought about this possibility, and my knowledge of both Cygwin and WyD is too sparse to definitively know how both work. Is it even possible to run WyD from within the Cygwin folder? It's not a package so can't be installed as one, and therefore I'm not sure how that would work.
Here are the relevant sections of the script:
# Module hash containing module name and supported file extensions
# Multiple extensions are seperated using ';'
my %wlgmods = (
'wlgmod::strings', '', # only used with command-line switch
'wlgmod::plain' , '.txt', # used for all MIME text/plain as well
'wlgmod::html' , '.html;.htm;.php;.php3;.php4',
'wlgmod::doc' , '.doc',
'wlgmod::pdf' , '.pdf',
'wlgmod::mp3' , '.mp3',
'wlgmod::ppt' , '.ppt',
'wlgmod::jpeg' , '.jpeg;.jpg;.JPG;.JPEG',
'wlgmod::odt' , '.odt;.ods;.odp'
);
...
# Initialize possible modules
foreach(keys %wlgmods) {
eval("use $_;");
my $ret = $_->init(); # line 284
# If module failed, add errortext and remove from hash
if($ret) {
$retvals .= "$_: $ret\n";
delete $wlgmods{$_};
$ret = "";
}
}
This example routine generates two Throw::nocatch warning messages in the kernel window. Can they be handled somehow?
The example consists of this code in a file "test.m" created in C:\Temp:
Needs["JLink`"];
$FrontEndLaunchCommand = "Mathematica.exe";
UseFrontEnd[NotebookWrite[CreateDocument[], "Testing"]];
Then these commands pasted and run at the Windows Command Prompt:
PATH = C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\8.0\;%PATH%
start MathKernel -noprompt -initfile "C:\Temp\test.m"
Addendum
The reason for using UseFrontEnd as opposed to UsingFrontEnd is that an interactive front end may be required to preserve output and messages from notebooks that are usually run interactively. For example, with C:\Temp\test.m modified like so:
Needs["JLink`"];
$FrontEndLaunchCommand="Mathematica.exe";
UseFrontEnd[
nb = NotebookOpen["C:\\Temp\\run.nb"];
SelectionMove[nb, Next, Cell];
SelectionEvaluate[nb];
];
Pause[10];
CloseFrontEnd[];
and a notebook C:\Temp\run.nb created with a single cell containing:
x1 = 0; While[x1 < 1000000,
If[Mod[x1, 100000] == 0,
Print["x1=" <> ToString[x1]]]; x1++];
NotebookSave[EvaluationNotebook[]];
NotebookClose[EvaluationNotebook[]];
this code, launched from a Windows Command Prompt, will run interactively and save its output. This is not possible to achieve using UsingFrontEnd or MathKernel -script "C:\Temp\test.m".
During the initialization, the kernel code is in a mode which prevents aborts.
Throw/Catch are implemented with Abort, therefore they do not work during initialization.
A simple example that shows the problem is to put this in your test.m file:
Catch[Throw[test]];
Similarly, functions like TimeConstrained, MemoryConstrained, Break, the Trace family, Abort and those that depend upon it (like certain data paclets) will have problems like this during initialization.
A possible solution to your problem might be to consider the -script option:
math.exe -script test.m
Also, note that in version 8 there is a documented function called UsingFrontEnd, which does what UseFrontEnd did, but is auto-configured, so this:
Needs["JLink`"];
UsingFrontEnd[NotebookWrite[CreateDocument[], "Testing"]];
should be all you need in your test.m file.
See also: Mathematica Scripts
Addendum
One possible solution to use the -script and UsingFrontEnd is to use the 'run.m script
included below. This does require setting up a 'Test' kernel in the kernel configuration options (basically a clone of the 'Local' kernel settings).
The script includes two utility functions, NotebookEvaluatingQ and NotebookPauseForEvaluation, which help the script to wait for the client notebook to finish evaluating before saving it. The upside of this approach is that all the evaluation control code is in the 'run.m' script, so the client notebook does not need to have a NotebookSave[EvaluationNotebook[]] statement at the end.
NotebookPauseForEvaluation[nb_] := Module[{},While[NotebookEvaluatingQ[nb],Pause[.25]]]
NotebookEvaluatingQ[nb_]:=Module[{},
SelectionMove[nb,All,Notebook];
Or##Map["Evaluating"/.#&,Developer`CellInformation[nb]]
]
UsingFrontEnd[
nb = NotebookOpen["c:\\users\\arnoudb\\run.nb"];
SetOptions[nb,Evaluator->"Test"];
SelectionMove[nb,All,Notebook];
SelectionEvaluate[nb];
NotebookPauseForEvaluation[nb];
NotebookSave[nb];
]
I hope this is useful in some way to you. It could use a few more improvements like resetting the notebook's kernel to its original and closing the notebook after saving it,
but this code should work for this particular purpose.
On a side note, I tried one other approach, using this:
UsingFrontEnd[ NotebookEvaluate[ "c:\\users\\arnoudb\\run.nb", InsertResults->True ] ]
But this is kicking the kernel terminal session into a dialog mode, which seems like a bug
to me (I'll check into this and get this reported if this is a valid issue).
Within a Oracle Forms trigger I am using the host command to make a directory on the file server. An example of this part of my code is below:
HOST ('mkdir'||:GLOBAL.DIRECTORY_PATH||'\FERTILIZER\'||ADDY);
I need to have the error code returned to me if the directory is not created on the server. Any suggestions of the code I need to add?
Thank you.
FORM_SUCCESS will return FALSE if the command fails for any reason (unless you're on Windows 95 in which case it will still return TRUE).
HOST('...');
IF NOT FORM_SUCCESS THEN
MESSAGE('something went wrong');
END IF;
If you are looking for the actual OS level error code, then you are out of luck. The aforementioned answer from Jeffrey Kemp
is the best you will get.
If you are having failures, keep in mind that the HOST built-in runs on the machine that actually runs the form (normally the application server). So, your command must be valid for the particular OS of the application server.
Also, and you may have figured this out already, in your example, 'mkdir'||:GLOBAL.DIRECTORY_PATH||'\FERTILIZER\'||ADDY
could result in your command having no space between the command - mkdir and the string, resulting in a failed command.
You still can get the error message by using this statement HOST(vCommand || ' > error.txt');
