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 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.
