Flok assumes the location of binaries?

[pl-gauthier]

So I tried :

flok-repl -H ws://localhost:3000 -s YmUwNjhjNTYtNDRlYi00ZGNjLTk2NTgtNTJhZDFmMWI1ZmMz -t sclang

but got :

[unknown err] /bin/sh: /usr/local/bin/sclang: No such file or directory

because on my machine the command which sclang returns /usr/bin/sclang.

So I tried for the fun :

flok-repl -H ws://localhost:3000 -s YmUwNjhjNTYtNDRlYi00ZGNjLTk2NTgtNTJhZDFmMWI1ZmMz -t /usr/bin/sclang

which of course replied promptly with :

Unknown type /usr/bin/sclang. Must be one of: [ 'tidal', 'sclang', 'remote_sclang', 'foxdot' ]

Hi! I'm afraid the path is hardcoded to /usr/local/bin/sclang right now. Sorry! I'll try to fix this soon.

To run a custom REPL, skip the -t option, just pass the name of the command at the end, like this:

flok-repl -H ws://localhost:3000 -s YmUwNjhjNTYtNDRlYi00ZGNjLTk2NTgtNTJhZDFmMWI1ZmMz -n sclang -- /usr/bin/sclang

In this case I'm also setting the name of the target as sclang with the -n option.
Unfortunately, this won't work right with sclang because of some weird behaviors of the interpreter.

You can also try to use the remote_sclang target if you want. You will have to install this quark and then run the repl with -t remote_sclang -n sclang.

Please document this way of calling an executable. -- <exec> is not listed in the output of flok-repl -h. Also, --list-types does suggest that -t must be one of those four types listed, while here it must be skipped. So there is an extra type none?

I can write such a text but I'm not confident about the details.

Right. I took that suggestion to issue #68

Fixed on 2e0f620
Now it runs sclang by default. You can specify a custom path as an extra option, like this:

flok-repl -t sclang --extra '{ "sclang": "/my/path/to/sclang" }'

Let me know if it works for you now @pl-gauthier

Yep it do.
Thanks ! :-)
