  • jsexec fails unless node1 directory exists

    From Michael J. Ryan@VERT to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Tue Feb 2 16:36:57 2021

    This may sound like an odd request, but would it be possible to suppress/ignore the error if `Node1/` doesn't exist?

    Mainly came across this in testing running inside my Docker image, that doesn't have the node1 directory by default, because the sbbs-init script creates it from a copy of the original inside a volume container with a symlink to the default path prior to starting sbbs.

    Not a massive issue, but would be a nice to have... maybe just throw if/when trying to access a property/global that uses node data? As it is, I just blindly check node 1, then get the max node number, then circle back around.

    What is the error?

    ```

    I have an sbbs-init script that runs to create the node directories and symlink to the /sbbs/node# directories that runs before any services, but my sbbs-run just creates a new container, and runs whatever you type, with the volumes mounted, but doesn't expressly init... at this point, there's no `/sbbs/node1` directory.

    BTW, with the new `jsexec -r` syntax, you don't need to create that test.js temp file to be executed. Just pass the string on the command-line.

    @rswindell thanks, was part of why I asked for it... updated my init script accordingly, but still errors if there's no /sbbs/node1 directory present (not sure about other nodes).
