[DEPRECATED] nqm-databot-store

DEPRECATED: replaced by @nqminds/nqm-databot-store in nqminds/nqm-databots mono-repo

New GitHub Code link: @nqminds/nqm-databot-store

New NPM link: @nqminds/nqm-databot-store

The default databot store.

install

Clone this repo and npm install

git clone https://github.com/nqminds/nqm-databot-store
cd nqm-databot-store
npm install

configuration

In the databot host configuration file, add the folder path using the databotStorePath property:

{
  ...
  "databotStorePath": "/path/to/the/nqm-databot-store",
  ...
}

debugging

Debugging works out-of-the-box for Visual Studio Code, but should be trivial to support in other debuggers/IDEs.

Run the host using the --debugBreak option (note, your databot host can be installed anywhere on your machine, as long as the configuration databotStorePath is set correctly as outlined above).

./nqm-databot-host.js --config ./my-config.json --debugBreak

The databot host will start and enter the idle state waiting for a databot instance to be assigned. Using the nqm toolbox, create a databot or select an existing databot, and make sure you grant permisson for your host to execute it. Then run the databot using the toolbox.

After a short delay you should see the host receive the databot instance run request, and it will then proceed to install the databot. Once installed, the host will print a message to the console similar to the following, and then pause:

nqm-databot-host:DatabotHost piping input to child: ... +6ms
nqm-databot-host:CHILD-DEBUG *********************************** +40ms
nqm-databot-host:CHILD-DEBUG *                                 * +0ms
nqm-databot-host:CHILD-DEBUG * Debugger listening on port 5858 * +0ms
nqm-databot-host:CHILD-DEBUG *                                 * +0ms
nqm-databot-host:CHILD-DEBUG *********************************** +0ms
nqm-databot-host:CHILD-DEBUG Sat, 22 Oct 2016 18:49:16 GMT nqm-databot reading input +195ms
nqm-databot-host:CHILD-DEBUG Sat, 22 Oct 2016 18:49:16 GMT nqm-databot received input 

The host will now wait until a debugger attaches to process 5858.

Visual Studio Code

Run an instance of Visual Code and open the nqm-databot-store folder. Choose the debug tab and select Attach to databot from the launch configuration drop-down. Click the run button, or hit F5. The debugger should start and immediately break at a debugger statement right before the databot entry point.

You can now step into your databot code.
