ck cd

[psyhtest]

Certain CK commands (e.g. find) often return a directory where a user needs to go for further operation. It would be convenient to combine search and change into a single command.

We discussed that internally and there is no easy way to change current directory and keep it when calling programs/scripts in Linux or Windows. Instead, I added two commands to CK 'cd' and 'cdc'. The first one just prints 'cd {path to entry}' which you can copy/paste ... Second one does the same and also attempt to copy this command to clipboard so that you can just paste it and go to a given entry ...

I.e. for a test:

• ck cd test:unicode
• ck cdc test:unicode

May I ask you to check if it will be ok as a possible solution, please? Thanks!

The cd command works just fine. But cdc complains:

CK error: seems that "tkinter" python package is not installed!

I'll check with tkinter installed... In any case, it would be good to document this dependence.

I added extra support for 'pyperclip' module (available via pip, i.e. pip install pyperclip).
Can you please check it now? Thanks!

[psyhtest]

I've installed pyperclip via pip but it appears to have an unsatisfied dependency on Ubuntu 12.04:

$ python -c "import pyperclip"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pyperclip/__init__.py", line 218, in <module>
    raise Exception('Pyperclip requires the xclip or xsel application, or the gtk or PyQt4 module.')
Exception: Pyperclip requires the xclip or xsel application, or the gtk or PyQt4 module.
$

Let's ignore the clipping issue for now. In the below, I'd expect to see a warning informing of more than one option existing:

$ ck list program:slambench*
slambench-1.1-opencl
slambench-1.1-cuda
slambench-1.1-opencl-dragon-board
slambench-1.1-cpu
slambench-1.1-cpu-openmp
$ ck cd program:slambench*
cd /home/dvdt/CK/reproduce-pamela-project/program/slambench-1.1-opencl
$

(Only a single, topmost option is selected; no warning.)

[gfursin]

I added warning to the above case - can you please check it ...
As for clipboard, yes, we should find a better solution ...
Thanks!

It's actually become a bit worse - I get an exception now when I try to find anything:

$ ck find script:explore-datasets
/home/dvdt/CK/ck-clsmith/script/explore-datasets
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/dvdt/CK/ck-master/ck/kernel.py", line 8414, in <module>

    return a(i)
  File "/home/dvdt/CK/ck-master/ck/kernel.py", line 4748, in find
    rx=copy_to_clipboard({'string':'"'+pf+'"'})
  File "/home/dvdt/CK/ck-master/ck/kernel.py", line 1383, in copy_to_clipboard
    import pyperclip

    raise Exception('Pyperclip requires the xclip or xsel application, or the gtk or PyQt4 module.')
Exception: Pyperclip requires the xclip or xsel application, or the gtk or PyQt4 module.
$

[gfursin]

Ups, sorry. I think I fixed that.
Can you please check both 'find' and 'cdc' (that it doesn't crash but returns CK error)?
Thanks!

[ctuning]

It should be solved now so I close this ticket!
