Xiki doesn't function

[sdaitzman]

Xiki runs but doesn't do anything... I got the impression it was further into development than this, so it seems likely that it's crashing immediately.

Here's the output:

> Summary
The 'xiki' shell command is mostly meant to be called by programs
that want to interface with Xiki.  But it is sometimes useful for
people to call it directly.  Example usages:

$ xiki ip
$ xiki docs/faq

> Setting up your editor
The most common way to use Xiki is from a text editor.  For
example, from in a text editor, typing "tables" on any blank line
and then double-clicking on it (or typing control-enter or
command-enter) to browse and update your mysql database.

See the README.md file in the Xiki dir for help setting up
your editor. You can view it by typing this command or going to
this url:

$ xiki readme

https://github.com/trogdoro/xiki

> Service
The 'xiki' shell command automatically runs a service in the
background to keep things fast.

% xiki status
% xiki stop
% xiki restart

> Interfaces
Xiki can be used from...
- A text editor
- The 'xiki' shell command
- The http://xiki/ url in your browser (experimental)

For more information type:

$ xiki docs

A couple commands to help you trouble-shoot:

% bundle install
% xiki restart
% xiki readme

Same query here. It returns back to existing shell.

[iachettifederico]

It works well for me .

Try running

xiki ip

It should return you IP address

then run

xiki web/start

and access http://localhost:8161

And, on the editor config, you will be able to integrate it with Emacs or Aquamacs (which currently are the most supported editors)

I hope that helps ​

Works for me, up to

localhost:8161/emacs-setup

which I won't try again until xiki stops clobbering my emacs interface.

I had the same problem. So I decided to create a separate config for emacs and xiki.

But finally, I managed to config it the way I wanted.

If you're interested, we can pair on it and I can help you.

I also didn't like the default keybindings, because they colficted too much with my own, so I learned to add just the ones I needed.

I know Craig is fully engaged on trying to get the KS going to solve all this stuff. In the meantime, ping me and we'll set a pairing session

I have the same problem. The web interface works for me, but nothing in the terminal.

[sdaitzman]

It's not working for me in emacs or anything else...

[phdoerfler]

same problem here. Web interface works, terminal just prints the text mentioned above. xipi ip works, etc. but I thought that xiki was a shell? Shouldn't it act like one then when invoked via the command line?

[iachettifederico]

That's xsh which is a new feature Craig has been working on. But I didn't try it yet.

I use Xiki from emacs

If you simply run xiki it will only give you the output you posted. That's working as intended, it seems.

xiki is not a shell. xsh is a Xiki SHell, but it hasn't been released because the development is pending the results of the Kickstarter campaign, I believe.

Yes, that's right, thanks Kevin!

Back the campaign if you haven't yet, and I'll get xsh out there within a couple months or so, hopefully! I'm looking forward to remote pair programming with you on making it work for everyone, and making the install smooth (I think a one-line installer is pretty conceivable at this point).

2 days left in the kickstarter, and it's going to be realllly close!

In an attempt to turn this issue into a workable item:

I suggest someone with some experience of xiki starts a Getting Started section to the readme
