Hi all, I am using connman v1.20 in an embedded system (MIPS arch). Using the connman client it's easy to connect to a wifi with password. I perform the following steps
1. connmanctl> scan wifi: Scan wifi for services 2. connmanctl> agent on: Register agent 3. connmanctl> connect wifi_0123456789ab_0123456789_managed_psk: Connect to the wifi service and add the password when requested I am trying to do the same as above using the dbus-send command. I want to do that because I would like to use the node-dbus module from node.js in order to control connman using dbus commands. So 1. For scanning I used the following command dbus-send --system --dest=net.connman --print-reply /net/connman/technology/wifi net.connman.Technology.Scan No problems there. 2. For registering the agent I used the following dbus-send --system --dest=net.connman --print-reply / net.connman.Manager.RegisterAgent objpath:"/test/agent" I selected a test object path, as it is in the simple agent python script. No problems there. 3. For connecting I used the following dbus-send --system --dest=net.connman --print-reply /net/connman/service/wifi_0123456789ab_0123456789_managed_psk net.connman.Service.Connect I am getting the following error Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownObject: Method "Connect" with signature "" on interface "net.connman.Service" doesn't exist which seems that the agent registration failed or there is something else going on. In order to investigate more, I enabled debugging and I noticed that when I register the agent using the client I get the following output connmand[1942]: src/manager.c:register_agent() conn 0x55638980 connmand[1942]: src/agent.c:connman_agent_register() sender :1.29 path /net/connman/connmanctl1998 connmand[1942]: src/agent.c:agent_ref_debug() 0x55641890 ref 1 by src/agent.c:308:agent_create() connmand[1942]: src/agent.c:connman_agent_register() agent :1.29 connmand[1942]: src/agent.c:set_default_agent() default agent set to :1.29 /net/connman/connmanctl1998 where the object path is set as "/net/connman/connmanctl$PID_CONNMANCTL" but when I use the dbus-send command I get the following connmand[1942]: src/service.c:connect_service() service 0x55641530 connmand[1942]: src/service.c:__connman_service_connect() service 0x55641530 state idle connmand[1942]: src/network.c:__connman_network_disconnect() network 0x55649060 connmand[1942]: src/agent-connman.c:__connman_agent_request_passphrase_input() agent (nil) service 0x55641530 path (null) connmand[1942]: src/manager.c:register_agent() conn 0x55638980 connmand[1942]: src/agent.c:connman_agent_register() sender :1.27 path /test/agent connmand[1942]: src/agent.c:agent_ref_debug() 0x55652240 ref 1 by src/agent.c:308:agent_create() connmand[1942]: src/agent.c:connman_agent_register() agent :1.27 connmand[1942]: src/agent.c:set_default_agent() default agent set to :1.27 /test/agent connmand[1942]: src/agent.c:agent_disconnect() agent :1.27 disconnected connmand[1942]: src/agent.c:agent_destroy() agent :1.27 req (nil) connmand[1942]: src/agent.c:agent_unref_debug() 0x55652240 ref 0 by src/agent.c:627:agent_destroy() connmand[1942]: src/agent.c:cancel_all_requests() request (nil) pending (nil) connmand[1942]: src/agent.c:set_default_agent() default agent cleared It seems that it gets disconnected almost immediately. I would expect to disconnect using the unregister method. So I have the following questions 1. Is there something else that I have to do in the registration of the agent ? 2. Is there something else in general that I have to do ? 3. Do I do something wrong using the dbus-send commands ? I know that the dbus-send utility it's not the best thing in order to test connman, because there are function signatures that have nested containers which are not supported by dbus-send. But it's the quickest way to test the functionality parts of connman. I know also that there are a number of python tests and utilities, but in the embedded system that I use it's not installed. Any help appreciated. Kind regards, Stavros _______________________________________________ connman mailing list connman@connman.net https://lists.connman.net/mailman/listinfo/connman
