most commands unavailable on new install

[justinhunt]

Moosh is great. I use it on some of my sites, and its always a rock. But today on a new install I can not get it to work. I might be doing something dumb ...

• moosh version: -Reports as 1.0.0

• moodle version: Moodle 3.8.7

• database: mariadb

• php version: PHP 7.1.0

• operating system:

• Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS

Actual behaviour

Most commands such as : moosh course-backup 5 .. fail with "No command provided."

Only about 20 commands are listed in: --list-commands Those seem to work. I am running commands from root of Moodle dir

Expected behaviour

moosh course-backup 5 should commence a course backup

Steps to reproduce

This occurred on a new install of Moodle when I installed using these commands (from moosh-online.org) sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/zabuch/ppa/ubuntu trusty main' sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install moosh

Hi, please try to install this package manually: https://launchpad.net/~zabuch/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+files/moosh_0.39-1_all.deb

I have split moosh into 2 versions, the 1.x one is for Moodle 3.9 and above - I need to update the documentation.

[justinhunt]

Aha. Thanks for the fast reply. That really helped. I bit the bullet and upgraded to Moodle 39. Then it worked fine. Really appreciate your help.

I don't suppose there is a nice easy way to have both versions installed on a system and switch between the two?

Most days I'm bouncing around between customers that are using a range of different Moodle versions and Totara (which is still mostly compatible with Moodle 3.4 stuff) - it's a bit awkward if I have to do a manual reinstall every time I switch to a different customer.

[tmuras]

It's actually very simple @davosmith - download both versions from https://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversions.php?id=522 , unzip them into (say) /home/davo/moosh0 and /home/davo/moosh1. Then run different moosh versions using full path, like: /home/davo/moosh0/moosh.php /home/davo/moosh1/moosh.php

If there are any conflicts, uninstall system (deb) version.

[davosmith]

Belated thanks @tmuras - I tested this the other day and it is working great.

Install using

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common 
 sudo apt-add-repository ppa:zabuch/ppa
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install moosh

And most commands are not available. Link mentioned above not found and outdated.

[sam-suresh]

Download and extract version 0.3x to somewhere in server. Add a symlink to path and its working.

Is this still the only possible solution? I'm using Moodle 4.0 and I'm a bit confused since the current stable version supports only some of commands listed in the docs (restore course is not among those).

Should I try to work with unsupported and outdated version?

Sorry to necropost, but for anyone else finding this: run the moosh command after you have changed to your moodle directory - it will display all of the commands. When you run it from somewhere else, I guess it doesn't detect the moodle install and only shows those 20 or so commands. Alternately, use the -p parameter and it will properly display all of the commands for you.

I still can't get this to work. Tried all of the above, but when I'm trying to run something like:

moosh course-backup --fullbackup 22745

I get this:

_moosh version 1.14 No command provided, possible commands: apache-parse-extendedlog apache-parse-missing-files apache-parse-perflog backup-info base-path code-check download-moodle fontawesome-refreshcache framework-import generate-cfg generate-moosh lang-compare lang-stats languages-update log-analyse nginx-parse-extendedlog perf-analyse plugin-download plugin-install plugin-list plugin-uninstall report-concurrency top Global options: -v, --verbose be verbose

    -h, --help

[therealjeremycole]

Try:

moosh -p "/var/www/moodle" course-backup --fullbackup 22745

(replacing /var/www/moodle with the path to where your Moodle files are)

Thanks, that worked!
