It seems that a number of the commands stopped working on the framework assembly sometime between the release of 2.1.1 and 2.1.2. The problem
persists in 2.1.3, branches/2.1, and trunk.

These are problems using the shell/batch commands. I know we want to move over completely to gshell ... but shouldn't these still be working now? There are no gshell equivalents for some of these (such as search-plugins).
All these commands have GShell equivalents but they just might be
named slightly differently (e.g. seach-plugins == list-plugins).
However, the GShell equivalents might not support all the features of
the commands (e.g. --offline is not supported in GShell).

Ah, thanks for the clarification. I mistakenly assumed the commands were not available in gshell when I went looking for the search-plugins and didn't see it. I did see list-plugins in the gshell help but it looks like the description in trunk isn't quite right (indicates it lists the installed plugins).

Commands such as search-plugins, list-targets, list-modules, and perhaps
others result in the following error:

Any pointers? That's all there really is. There's nothing in the logs.
If basic deployment should work in the framework assembly we must also install "jsr88-cli" and "offline-deployer" plugins. Once I installed these plugins I was able to do list-targets, list-modules. I have not
tried to deploy a new plugin though.

Thanks for the information Jarek. We need to decide if we plan to keep the commands around. If so, then I think we need to ensure they continue to work in all assemblies (esp. since this was working in 2.1.1 and earlier). The refactoring of the CLI between 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 must have introduced the requirement for these plugins in the framework which were not necessary earlier.


IMO framework is intended only to support plugin installation, not any kind of deployment such as using geronimo-gbean-deployer for service plugins. So, I don't want to try to support offline deployment until we have a way of plugging things into gshell so we can add offline deployment capabilities to a base gshell install.
Ok. Earlier today I added jsr88-cli and offline-deployer to the framework assembly. I can remove the offline-deployer as it appears that the jsr88-cli module is all that is needed for the scenario I was attempting. However, I'm not sure what to do about geronimo-gbean-deployer. This is pulled into the image when I include jsr88-cli and started. Is there a better way to get the plugin installation working (for things like search-plugins) that won't pull in the geronimo-gbean-deployer?

Hmmm ... correction. For branches/2.1 jsr88-cli seems to pull in and start geronimo-gbean-deployer. However in trunk the geronimo- gbean-deployer is not included at all.

I'm not sure I care what happens in branches/2.1.

For trunk I'd prefer to drop all scripts that dont use gshell or convert them to use gshell. If this means we lose offline deployment I'm OK with that, although I kinda doubt it will since that would involve starting geronimo inside gshell so all of the g. repo would be available and we wouldn't need to depend on gshell extensibility (?).

thanks

I think that we need to support the search-plugins capability from the command line as we did prior to 2.1.2.
