Using old i2cssh config files

[kurktchiev]

Hey so I just stumbled on your re-write and I like it, much simpler and faster than original, but it seems to not be able to use my already existing .i2cssh file :(, my node knowledge is non existent otherwise I would start doing some PRs. Any chance to add that?

[peh]

Yes it is on the Todo list! I am currently polishing the ec2 intergration .

[peh]

so i did some first integrations, clusters should already work. can you check if it's working with your existing file. and do you have any preference on what should work next

Just tested and it did not like my config file. GUessing its not ignoring the direction and boradcast bits.

---
version: 2
clusters:
  direction: row
  broadcast: true
  sakai-dev:
    columns: 3
    hosts:
      - lmapp0d
      - lmapp1d
      - lmadmind
  appbuild:
    hosts:
      - appbuild0
      - appbuild1

doing i2cssh -C .i2csshrc -c appbuild just returns and does nothing.

[peh]

are you using the latest beta of iterm2?

[kurktchiev]

latest nightly actually.

[peh]

sorry that was my mistake. pushed 1.2.3 to npmjs which is working with your config file.
direction, broadcast and columns is ignored working by now but i will implement those options next

[kurktchiev]

seems your changes have not made it to npmjs yet

[peh]

1.2.3 is the latest of 7 releases

should be in by now?

one more question on your config.
is columns: 3 overriding direction: row currently (it sounds a bit like those two are "conflicting" no?)

[kurktchiev]

So the idea is that you can do a complex layout using the default direction and specifying the column count. So in my case I have 3 servers and I want to end up with a window that looks like this:

I know it snot sure intuitive, but thats how you had to specify it in the config in the old i2cssh in order to produce the above.

[peh]

can you safely do a screenshot of this? or edit that and make it a code block? not sure i got what that painting means :)

[kurktchiev]

yeah already did after realizing it wouldnt actually save my ascii art properly lol

[peh]

ok got it. will fiddle around should not be to hard to implement.
