RoboComp development tools

This folder contains a set of tools created to facilitate the process of software development with RoboComp. Detailed information on each tool can be found in the corresponding README.md files in the respective directory.

Yakuake script

This is a simple script to automatically start RoboComp's favourite terminal tool, Yakuake, with two named tabs running Ice's pub/sub broker Storm through our rcnode script and a component named comp1.

#!/bin/bash
pkill -f icebox&
pkill -f rcremoteserver&

tabs_to_close="rcnode rcmanager rcremoteserver"

tabs_to_open="rcnode rcremoteserver"

echo "removing"
#Remove previous tabs if exist, avoiding to create multiple instances of these
for specific_tab in $tabs_to_close
do
	found=0

	#loop over all open tabs
	for sessid in $(qdbus org.kde.yakuake /yakuake/sessions org.kde.yakuake.sessionIdList | tr ',' '\n')
	do
		# get the name of the tab
		name=$(qdbus org.kde.yakuake /yakuake/tabs org.kde.yakuake.tabTitle $sessid)		
		if [ "$name" = $specific_tab ] 
		then
			found=1
			qdbus org.kde.yakuake /yakuake/sessions org.kde.yakuake.removeSession $sessid
		fi	
	done 		
done

echo "creating"
#loop to open specific tabs
for specific_tab in $tabs_to_open
do
	#create new session
	qdbus org.kde.yakuake /yakuake/sessions org.kde.yakuake.addSession
	#get id of open session
	sess0=`qdbus org.kde.yakuake /yakuake/sessions org.kde.yakuake.activeSessionId`
	#run command on active session
	qdbus org.kde.yakuake /yakuake/sessions org.kde.yakuake.runCommand $specific_tab
	#change the name of session
	qdbus org.kde.yakuake /yakuake/tabs org.kde.yakuake.setTabTitle $sess0 $specific_tab
done

Additional blocks can be added to create and initialize new tabs in Yakuake.

Please, copy this code to a .sh file and execute it whenever you need to start your multi-component development environment.
