Re: JavaScript Command Shell
By: Matt to All on Fri Dec 19 2008 09:25 pm

I'm a bit confused. I am trying to write a JavaScript command shell for my board. I added the command shell to the configuration and set the internal code. When I login to try and use it, it says that it cannot find mframe.bin. Well, duh, because its JavaScript.

How do I let the configuration that it is a javascript and not a baja module. Or, do I have to make a baja module that executes a javascript?

Exactly. You need a one line Baja module that executes the JavaScript. See exec/lbshell.src for an example.

I plan to address this in a future version.

make a baja that executes the .js example....

:top EXEC "?s3.js" # should only see in a shell change PAUSE GOTO
top

replace s3 with your shell... the loop is so you can break out of the js, a reload... this also works for changing shells... your js shell will need to detect the shell changed and exit the js.

I know this is an ancient thread, but it might be worth mentioning somewhere
in the documentation. I spent a lot of time tracking this down last night,
and then a lot of wasted time trying to figure out why once I changed to my custom shell, I couldn't change out of it without re-logging (because I's an idiot at 3am).

The snippet I used to detect the shell change (to break out of the shell and allow another one to take over) was this:

if(user.command_shell.toUpperCase() != "MYSHELL") {
exit();
}

Is this the cleanest way to handle it?

That's pretty much how Deuce's lightbar/drop-down shell does it (lbshell.js). Take a look-see.
