Subject:

/spool not implemented

Help describes a /spool command: fiwdev@dbi:Oracle:WF> /help Defined commands, in alphabetical order: [/;]chistory display command history [/;]clear erase the current statement [/;]col_info display columns that exist in current database [...] [/;]spool send all output to a disk file. usage: spool file name or spool off. [...] but when you try to invoke it you get an error message: fiwdev@dbi:Oracle:WF> /spool katlos.txt DBI::Shell: spool failed: Can't locate object method "do_spool" via package "DBI::Shell" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/DBI/Shell.pm line 672. The do_spool method indeed doesn't seem to exist in DBI-Shell-1.93.

The problem still exists in DBI::Shell 11.95. While the code tries to execute do_spool() (as described by Peter), it should try to execute spool_on() or spool_off(), respectively, which do exist.

I forgot that I hadn't closed that bug yet. It isn't a bug, the functionality has been moved to a plugin (DBI::Shell::Spool), and the plugin system is somewhat underdocumented. You can load the plugin by putting { 'plug-ins' => { 'pre-init' => [ 'DBI::Shell::Spool', ], }, }; in your ~/.dbish_config

And now I remember why I didn't close it: I have absolutely no idea how to do it.

I have added a more helpful error message, https://repo.or.cz/perl-DBI-Shell.git/commitdiff/b7eb3217664aa2db26e071a710b1666a868cbaf0 Cheers, Dave
