Repl's and Cli's

[Ed Sumerfield]

I am building a little tool to offer command line interface to manage our vmware cloud. I want a cli and a repl and chose Pry as the repl so have code like this to define the Pry commands and what they do.

Pry.config.commands = Pry::CommandSet.new do
  command "configure", "Create a new configuration file" do
    CommandConfigure.new.run
  end

end

So now I want to make the same command to run from a cli argument. it looks like Thor is a great solution for a cli but this would mean duplicating all the command text and help information.

Ideally, I need some way to inject a command and arguments into pry that were entered on the command line instead of in the repl.

Pseudo code.

    Pry.submit(ARGV)

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks.

Found it.

    Pry.run_command(ARGV.join(" "))
