jag run test.toit --device host

test

jag watch test.toit --device host

Scanning ...
Error: couldn't find device with name: 'host'

You can start a simulator on host instead.

bitphlipphar 08/22/2023 07:37 PM

jag simulate

bitphlipphar 08/22/2023 07:37 PM

I think that will just show up when you do jag scan.

bitphlipphar 08/22/2023 07:41 PM

Yeah, that seems to work also with jag watch.

Note that you can pass arguments to your application by taking an argument with main.
Use -- to tell Jaguar that the arguments are for the Toit program.

jag run -d host foo.toit -- --arg-to-foo

(I think to be slow on the uptake)
- please give me an example for that

floitsch 08/23/2023 11:35 AM

main args:
  print args

jag run -d host demo.toit -- 1 2 --another-arg

tested and got it.
I think the simulation mode (running toit on Host/PC) is VERY helpful to test the behaviour of unknown functions,classes,packages,... (especially when there are no adequate examples)

there is a jag completion command.
- What is it for ?
- And how can it be used ?
- does a doc exist ?

floitsch 08/23/2023 11:57 AM

I think that's for the shell (bash...) So it autocompletes the subcommands (like run).

Jaguar also contains the lsp command which is used by the vscode plugin for completion and diagnostics there.
