Having some issues running a simple wrapper script for mounting/unmounting a device

[DJMoffinz]

Hello all,

I’ve written a basic wrapper for ifuse but i’m having some issues getting it to run properly.

• When I try to run the script with the argument ~/iphone, the interpreter exits immediately with ERROR No such file or directory (os error 2).
• When I try it with /home/$USER/iphone, it exits with ERROR Is a directory (os error 21).

This seems to happen regardless of whether my phone is connected to my computer.

This is my code:

pub fun mount_unmount(dir: Text): Text {
    $ifuse {dir}$ failed {
        echo "could not mount to {dir}, please make sure the directory exists and that your device is connected."
        unsafe $exit {status}$
    }

    echo "mounted! press q to unmount."
    loop {
        unsafe $read -rsn1$
        if "\$REPLY" == "q" {
            $fusermount -u {dir}$ failed {
                echo "couldn't unmount."
            }
            break
        }
    }
}

main (args) {
     mount_unmount(args[0])
}

Any help with getting this to run, or advice on writing better scripts in future would be greatly appreciated. you have my thanks in advance :]

If you're running this script like so:

amber script.ab ~/iphone

Then what the compiler does - it will compile script.ab to a file ~/iphone. If you want to run it with an argument, then as of right now you have to compile and then run it with arguments. This will be fixed in the future!

amber script.ab script.sh
./script.sh ~/iphone
