What is the perl6 equivalent of #INC, please? - raku

I go
export PERL6LIB="/GitHub/perl6-Units/lib"
and then
echo $PERL6LIB
/GitHub/perl6-Units/lib
But when I run perl6 t/01-basic.t
use v6;
use Test;
plan 3;
lives-ok {
use Units <m>;
ok #Units::UNITS.elems > 0;
ok (0m).defined;
}
done-testing;
I still get an error
===SORRY!===
Could not find Units at line 8 in:

In Perl 5 I would have used print "#INC"; to see what paths are searched for the lib before the error is thrown. Using say flat $*REPO.repo-chain.map(*.loaded); either is before it loads or after it throws the exception.
Any help would be much appreciated - or maybe a hint on what to put in ~/.perl6 as I can't get a symlink to work either.

The error message itself is telling you what the library paths available are. You are failing to print them because you are expecting a run time action ( say ) to take place before a compile time error -- you could print out $*REPO at compile time, but again the exception is already showing you what you wanted.
$ PERL6LIB="/GitHub/perl6-Units/lib" perl6 -e 'BEGIN say $*REPO.repo-chain; use Foo;'

You can see /GitHub/perl6-Units/lib is showing up in the available paths, which is unlike your example. I'd question if your shell/env is actually setup correctly.

how to see if a process by name is running in tcl

I want to use the pidof by a process given by name in tcl. I have used [exec pidof $proc_name ], but it always returns an error: child process exited abnormally.
I read somewhere exec always treat non-zero return as error as pidof return the process id number. Does anyone know if there is a workaround? Thanks in advance!
I want to use pidof is that i want to see if that process is running if not i will restart the process.
The problem is that pidof does strange things with exit codes:
Exit Status
At least one program was found with the requested name.
No program was found with the requested name.
This interacts badly with exec which treats a non-zero exit code as indicating that it should tell the rest of Tcl that there was an error.
The simplest way of dealing with this is a little extra shell script wrapper. Let's hide it inside a procedure for convenience:
proc pidof {name} {
exec /bin/bash -c "pidof '$name'; exit \$(( \$? - 1 ))"
}
All that does is subtract 1 from the exit code before it hits back into Tcl.
(You could also fix this using the techniques described in the exec manual but I think it's simpler to fix on the bash side this time.)
I ran into this and ended up causing some issues with the old linux environment I run in (no bash and exit code handling was a bit different with busybox).
My solution that should work anywhere would be similar to what a few suggested:
proc pidof {name} {
catch {exec -ignorestderr -- pidof $name} pid
if {[string is entier -strict $pid]} {
return $pid
}
}

tcl tcltest unknown option -run

When I run ANY test I get the same message. Here is an example test:
package require tcltest
namespace import -force ::tcltest::*
test foo-1.1 {save 1 in variable name foo} {} {
set foo 1
} {1}
I get the following output:
WARNING: unknown option -run: should be one of -asidefromdir, -constraints, -debug, -errfile, -file, -limitconstraints, -load, -loadfile, -match, -notfile, -outfile, -preservecore, -relateddir, -singleproc, -skip, -testdir, -tmpdir, or -verbose
I've tried multiple tests and nothing seems to work. Does anyone know how to get this working?
Update #1:
The above error was my fault, it was due to it being run in my script. However if I run the following at a command line I got no output:
[root#server1 ~]$ tcl
tcl>package require tcltest
2.3.3
tcl>namespace import -force ::tcltest::*
tcl>test foo-1.1 {save 1 in variable name foo} {expr 1+1} {2}
tcl>echo [test foo-1.1 {save 1 in variable name foo} {expr 1+1} {2}]
tcl>
How do I get it to output pass or fail?
You don't get any output from the test command itself (as long as the test passes, as in the example: if it fails, the command prints a "contents of test case" / "actual result" / "expected result" summary; see also the remark on configuration below). The test statistics are saved internally: you can use the cleanupTests command to print the Total/Passed/Skipped/Failed numbers (that command also resets the counters and does some cleanup).
(When you run runAllTests, it runs test files in child processes, intercepting the output from each file's cleanupTests and adding them up to a grand total.)
The internal statistics collected during testing is available in AFACT undocumented namespace variables like ::tcltest::numTests. If you want to work with the statistics yourself, you can access them before calling cleanupTests, e.g.
parray ::tcltest::numTests
array set myTestData [array get ::tcltest::numTests]
set passed $::tcltest::numTests(Passed)
Look at the source for tcltest in your library to see what variables are available.
The amount of output from the test command is configurable, and you can get output even when the test passes if you add p / pass to the -verbose option. This option can also let you have less output on failure, etc.
You can also create a command called ::tcltest::ReportToMaster which, if it exists, will be called by cleanupTests with the pertinent data as arguments. Doing so seems to suppress both output of statistics and at least most resetting and cleanup. (I didn't go very far in investigating that method.) Be aware that messing about with this is more likely to create trouble than solve problems, but if you are writing your own testing software based on tcltest you might still want to look at it.
Oh, and please use the newer syntax for the test command. It's more verbose, but you'll thank yourself later on if you get started with it.

How to store a command output in OpenVMS

Im having an issue writing a DCL in OpenVMS in that I need the DCL to call a command and capture its output (but not output the output to the screen) Later on in the DCL I then need to print that output I stored.
Heres an example:
ICE SET FASTER !This command sets my environment to the "Faster" environment.
The above command outputs this if executed directly in OpenVMS:
Initialising TEST Environment to FASTER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using Test Search rules FASTER
Using Test Search rules FASTER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dcl>
So I created a DCL in an attempt to wrap this output in order to display a more simplified output. Heres my code so far:
!************************************************************************
$ !* Wrapper for setting ICE account. Outputs Environment
$ !************************************************************************
$ on error then goto ABORT_PROCESS
$ICE_DCL_MAIN:
$ ice set 'P1'
$ ICE SHOW
$ EXIT
$ABORT_PROCESS:
$ say "Error ICING to: " + P1
$ EXIT 2
[End of file]
In the lines above ICE SET 'P1' is setting the ice environment, but I dont want this output to be echoed to VMS. But what I do want is to write the output of $ICE SHOW into a variable and then echo that out later on in the DCL (most of which ive omitted for simplification purposes)
So what should be outputted should be:
current Test Environment is DISK$DEVELOPERS:[FASTER.DEVELOP]
Instead of:
Initialising TEST Environment to FASTER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using Test Search rules FASTER
Using Test Search rules FASTER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
current Test Environment is DISK$DEVELOPERS:[FASTER.DEVELOP]
Ive had a look through the manual and im getting a bit confused so I figured I tried here. Id appreciate any pointers. Thanks.
EDIT
Here is what ive come up with after the comments, the problem im having is when I connect to VMS using an emulator such as SecureCRT the correct output is echoed. But when I run the DCL via my SSH2 library in .NET it doesnt output anything. I guess thats because it closes the SYS$OUTPUT stream temporarily or something?
$ !************************************************************************
$ !* Wrapper for setting ICE account. Outputs Environment
$ !************************************************************************
$ on error then goto ABORT_PROCESS
$ICE_DCL_MAIN:
$ DEFINE SYS$OUTPUT NL:
$ ice set 'P1'
$ DEASSIGN SYS$OUTPUT
$ ice show
$ EXIT
$ABORT_PROCESS:
$ say "Error ICING to: " + P1
$ EXIT 2
[End of file]
EDIT 2
So I guess really I need to clarify what im trying to do here. Blocking the output doesnt so matter so much, im merely trying to capture it into a Symbol for example.
So in C# for example you can have a method that returns a string. So you'd have string myResult = vms.ICETo("FASTER"); and it would return that and store it in the variable.
I guess im looking for a similar thing in VMS so that once ive iced to the environment I can call:
$ environment == $ICE SHOW
But I of course get errors with that statement
The command $ assign/user_mode Thing Sys$Output will cause output to be redirected to Thing until you $ deassign/user_mode Sys$Output or next executable image exits. An assignment without the /USER_MODE qualifier will persist until deassigned.
Thing can be a logical name, a file specification (LOG.TXT) or the null device (NLA0:) if you simply want to flush the output.
When a command procedure is executed the output can be redirected using an /OUTPUT qualifier, e.g. $ #FOO/output=LOG.TXT.
And then there is piping ... .
You can redirect the output to a temp file and then print its content later:
$ pipe write sys$output "hi" > tmp.tmp
$ ty tmp.tmp
VMS is not Unix, DCL is not Bash: you can not easily set a DCL symbol from the output of a command.
Your ICE SHOW prints one line, correct? The first word is always "current", correct?
So you can create a hack.
First let me fake your ICE command:
$ create ice.com
$ write sys$output "current Test Environment is DISK$DEVELOPERS:[FASTER.DEVELOP]"
^Z
$
and I define a dcl$path pointing to the directory where this command procedure is
so that I can use/fake the command ICE
$ define dcl$path sys$disk[]
$ ice show
current Test Environment is DISK$DEVELOPERS:[FASTER.DEVELOP]
$
Now what you need, create a command procedure which sets a job logical
$ cre deflog.com
$ def/job/nolog mylog "current''p1'"
^Z
$
And I define a command "current" to run that command procedure:
$ current="#deflog """
Yes, you need three of the double quotes at the end of the line!
And finally:
$ pipe (ice show | #sys$pipe) && mysym="''f$log("mylog")'"
$ sh symb mysym
MYSYM = "current Test Environment is DISK$DEVELOPERS:[FASTER.DEVELOP]"
$
On the other hand, I don't know what you are referring to C# and Java. Can you elaborate on that and tell us what runs where?
You can try using: DEFINE /USER SYS$OUTPUT NL:.
It works only for the next command and you dont need to deassign.
Sharing some of my experience here. I used below methods to redirect outputs to files.
Define/Assign the user output and then execute the required command/script afterwards. Output will be written to .
$define /user sys$output <file_path>
execute your command/script
OR
assign /user <file_path> sys$output
execute your command/script
deassign sys$output
To re-direct in to null device like in Unix (mentioned in above answers), you can use 'nl:' instead of
define /user sys$output nl:
or
assign /user nl: sys$output

dcl assignment from a command

I am new to DCL.
I want to get the out put of a command in a variable and iterate result one by one.
filePath=dir /since="time_now" [.SUBDIR]*.PNG/noheader/notrail
That's just not how we roll with DCL.
We don't do pipes, we do, but not really.
DIR/SINCE=NOW ... will not give anything by definition, since nothing exists since now.
Use /OUT to stick the directory output into a file, and then read ans parse (F$PARSE and/or F$ELEMENT and/or F$LOC)
Check out HELP OPEN; HELP READ [/END]; HELP LEXICAL
Google for examples.
More advanced DCL scripts use F$PARSE, F$SEARCH and F$FILE(file,CDT) to avoid activating images and creating temp files: $ HELP LEXICAL
Google for examples.
Check out yesterday stack-exhange entry ?! : OpenVMS - DELETE Line if TEXT like x
But if you are just starting... IMHO just skip DCL and stick to PERL
$ perl -e "for (<[.SUBDIR]*.PNG>) { next unless -M > 0.123; print; ... }"
Good luck!

hide error messages in dcl script

I have a test script I'm running that generates some errors,shown below, I expect these errors. Is there anyway I can prevent them from showing on the screen however? I use the
$ write sys$output
to display if there is an expected error.
I tried to use
$ DEFINE SYS$ERROR ERROR.LOG
but this then changed my entire error output log to this, if this is the correct way to handle it can I unset this at the end of my script somehow?
[error example]
%DCL-E-OPENIN, error opening TEST$DISK:[AAA]NOTTHERE.TXT; as input
-RMS-E-FNF, file not found
%DCL-E-OPENIN, error opening TEST$DISK:[AAA]NOTTHERE.TXT; as input
-RMS-E-FNF, file not found
%DCL-W-UNDFIL, file has not been opened by DCL - check logical name
DEFINE/USER creates a logical name that disappears when the next image exits.
So if you use that just before a command just to protect that command, then fine.
Otherwise I would prefer SET MESSAGE to control the output.
And of course yoy want to grab $STATUS and verify it after the command for success or for the expected error, reporting any unexpected error.
Better still... if you expect certain error conditions to occur,
then why not test for them?
For example:
$ file = F$SEARCH("TEST$DISK:[AAA]NOTTHERE.TXT")
$ IF file.NES."" THEN TYPE 'file'
Cheers,
Hein
To suppress Error message inside a script. try this command
$ DEFINE/USER SYS$ERROR NL:
NL: is a null device, so you don`t see any error messages displayed on your terminal.
good luck
This works interactively and in batch.
$ SET MESSAGE /NOTEXT /NOSEV /NOFAC /NOID
$ <DCL_Command>
$ SET MESSAGE /TEXT /SEV /FAC/ ID
