MOOS App Launch Alias
In order for your MOOS app to be able to connect to the MOOSDB under an alias name (using the pAntler ~ syntax), your app must handle argv[2] as an alias specification. The two lines below were omitted from the main.cpp file in the GenMOOSApp script. Make sure you have them implemented in your program.
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { string mission_file = ""; string run_command = argv[0]; bool help_requested = false; bool vers_requested = false; bool exam_requested = false; int i; for(i=1; i<argc; i++) { string argi = argv[i]; if((argi=="−v") || (argi=="−−version") || (argi=="−version")) vers_requested = true; else if((argi=="−e") || (argi=="−−example") || (argi=="−example")) exam_requested = true; else if((argi == "−−help")||(argi=="−h")) help_requested = true; else if(strEnds(argi, ".moos") || strEnds(argi, ".moos++")) mission_file = argv[i]; else if(strBegins(argi, "−−alias=")) run_command = argi.substr(8); else if(i==2) // Add these run_command = argi; // two lines! } if(vers_requested) { cout << "${2}${1} Version 0.1" << endl; return(0); } if(exam_requested) { showExampleConfig(); return(0); } ${1} ${1}; ${1}.Run(run_command.c_str(), mission_file.c_str()); return(0); }
