I'm a bit confused. I am trying to write a JavaScript command shell for my board. I added the command shell to the configuration and set the internal code. When I login to try and use it, it says that it cannot find mframe.bin. Well, duh, because its JavaScript.

How do I let the configuration that it is a javascript and not a baja module. Or, do I have to make a baja module that executes a javascript?

Thanks!

Exactly. You need a one line Baja module that executes the JavaScript. See exec/lbshell.src for an example.

I plan to address this in a future version.

make a baja that executes the .js
example....

:top
EXEC "?s3.js"
# should only see in a shell change
PAUSE
GOTO top


replace s3 with your shell... the loop is so you can break out of the js, and reload... this also works for changing shells... your js shell will need to detect the shell changed and exit the js.

I know this is an ancient thread, but it might be worth mentioning somewhere
in the documentation. I spent a lot of time tracking this down last night,
and then a lot of wasted time trying to figure out why once I changed to my custom shell, I couldn't change out of it without re-logging (because I's an idiot at 3am).

The snippet I used to detect the shell change (to break out of the shell and allow another one to take over) was this:

if(user.command_shell.toUpperCase() != "MYSHELL") {
exit();
}

Is this the cleanest way to handle it?

That's pretty much how Deuce's lightbar/drop-down shell does it (lbshell.js). Take a look-see.
