Web UI and relay for Davinci printers using a Raspberry pi or windows (Page 2 of 4)

Rhys, I must be missing something. 
I go to the command page, and using the grep example you have, I select a file to grep.  when I enter the search string, (Which I know is in there ), the result shows error fork/exec bash: no such file or directory
The issue appears that the file is uploaded into the GoPrintRelay directory ( thats there your code is ), but it uploads with the filename of tmp-toolArg0upload.  So when grep is executed on the original filename ( in my case CRex4.gcode ) it cannot file the file.

EDIT:  Looking at your code ( toolsApi.go ) it looks like you have this as a todo on line 75: //todo use temp directory and generated name

Excellent.  I also like you can string commands.  Very nice.

Excellent.  ffmpeg is a great program.  Looking forward to it.

I have been working on this a bit, and I cannot get any of the command.json files (in the tools folder)  to work.  First, I am running a Raspberry Pi attached to the printer (JR 1.0) via usb
this is the json file
{
    "name":"send file to printer",
    "cmd":"/bin/bash -c 'mv tmp-toolArg0upload "$0".gcode;threedub -p "$0".gcode' $1",
    "usesPrinterConnection":true,
    "formfields":[
        {
            "type":"file",
            "name":"Select the gcode file to upload and print",
            "discription":"select file"
        }
    ]
}

error:
tmp-toolArg0upload': -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
tmp-toolArg0upload': -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
error exit status 1

let me explain the command portion of the cmd line
/bin/bash -c 'mv tmp-toolArg0upload "$0".gcode;threedub -p "$0".gcode' $1

as you know, the bash commands (bash -c executes the commands from a string; ie. everything inside the quote) need to be quoted.  In order to pass commands to this, the arguments ($0) need to be double quoted or else they are not expanded.  $0 is the first argument when passed this way
Also, when passing commands to a bash script, the first argument is $1 ( $0 is the bash command when executing.
Very confusing with these different first argument position ( 0 or 1) and the quoting ( single, double)

Now, if I execute this script ( after having the tmp-toolArg0upload file available ) it works, i.e. renames the file to the correct gcode and then passes it to threedub for conversion and printing.

bash script:
#/bin/bash
/bin/bash -c 'mv tmp-toolArg0upload "$0".gcode; threedub -p "$0".gcode' $1

This also will work
#/bin/bash
/bin/bash -c "mv tmp-toolArg0upload "$1".gcode; threedub -p "$1".gcode"

So, why the error above.  I think that your requirement of having the complete command in double quotes, bash's requirement to have single quotes for the string of bash commands ( when using bash -c ) and bash's requirement to have the double quotes to have the arguments expanded causes the error.

I do not know how to proceed.  This happens on any command.json that is passing arguments

With the latest 1.01 release it still fails.
Result
tmp-toolArg0upload: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
tmp-toolArg0upload: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
error exit status 1

here is the json file
pi@octopi:~/GoPrinterRelay $ cat tools/printGcode.json
{
    "name":"send file to printer",
    "cmd":"/bin/bash -c 'mv $1 $1.gcode -f;threedub $1.gcode'",
    "usesPrinterConnection":true,
    "formfields":[
        {
            "type":"file",
            "name":"Select the gcode file to upload and print",
            "discription":"select file"
        }
    ]
}

Whats circleci?

No problem on the delay.  Your doing great work.
Good news.  The grep tool worked right away, but the printGcode.json file needs a change in the cmd line.  the threedub command is never told to print.  Need to add the -p like this
"cmd":"/bin/bash -c 'mv $1 $1.gcode -f;threedub -p $1.gcode'",

After that it ran.  Now that was a small file.  I'll try a larger on later.  the reason for that is that large file ~3mb seem to fail when sending to the printer using threedub.  just need to resend it a couple of time.
So, I want to see how the failure is reported back, i.e. is it a silent fail.  will test this afternoon.

EDIT, had one of my normal communications failures.  I am happy to say that the error message is passed right back to the web page under Result.  Works great.

Keep up the great work.

Did you edit the config.json file and change the line that points to your printer?
       "printer":{
                "devicePath":"/dev/serial/by-id/usb-11f1_2510-if00"
                ,"relayTcpListener":":9100"
                ,"queryOverrides":
                        {
                         "n":"Go Printer Relay"
                        }

        },
Change that to point to your printer

You will need to restart goprinter if you edit it

Yes, log into your pi.  Change directory to where you have it.  Then use nano to edit it.
nano config.json.  Change the line to what you need it to be.  Then press control o to write out the file.  Press control x to exit nano.  Restart goprint

Change only what I highlighted in red.  The rest of the path is the same.

In pi do a ' ls -l /dev/serial/by-id/'  ( don't put in the quotes) and post the results here
  I can help more after that

Ok I got it changed and rebooted. I went to the website and got some boggled information. The printer isn't showing up in xyzware either. What is the next step? I have 300m of filament and it only shows odd information Thanks

Ok. When I click on any of the tabs, nothing loads. The website doesn't seem to be working properly
