Re: [Jason-users] Using the Jason CLI with an MAS needing a Gradle build

[Stephen C. <ste...@ot...>]

Thanks a lot, Jomi!

(I noticed your subsequent message with the corrected interactive shell command "mas start --use-gradle --mas2j=test.mas2j", but thought this is the better message to reply to for the mailing list records.)

I am using a Dockerfile that installs Jason in Ubuntu Linux using apt-get. Would it be possible to make this new snapshot available at http://packages.chon.group/?

Regards,
Stephen

Hi Stephen,

thanks again for the feedback on JasonCLI!

we added two new features:

1. run the application in the CLI using gradle. The command is

        jason> mas start --use-gradle=test.mas2j

2. run-as support for an MAS running at other process.

I pre-release with these features is available at
        https://github.com/jason-lang/jason/releases/tag/v3.0.0-snapshot

Regards,

Jomi

There does not seem to be a way to just start the MAS using Gradle within the shell. Is there a way to do that? Just entering "test.mas2j" (the CLI command with the initial "jason" removed) did not work.
>> If I enter the interactive shell and do not start a new MAS then most CLI commands detect that my "test" MAS is running and use that. However, the command "agent run-as ..." results in the error message: "no local running MAS, so, no agent to run the commands". The "agent run-as" command also does not support the -mas-name argument. These two limitations seem unique to "agent run-as". For example, "agent start" detects a running MAS and also supports the -mas-name argument.
