Rhai REPL CLI for Circle WebSocket Servers

This crate provides a command-line interface (CLI) to interact with Rhai scripts executed on remote Circle WebSocket servers. It includes both an interactive REPL and a non-interactive example.

Prerequisites

Circle Orchestrator Running: Ensure the circles_orchestrator is running. This application manages and starts the individual Circle WebSocket servers. To run the orchestrator:
```
cd /path/to/herocode/circles/cmd
cargo run
```
By default, this will start servers based on the circles.json configuration (e.g., "Alpha Circle" on ws://127.0.0.1:8081/ws).
Redis Server: Ensure a Redis server is running and accessible at redis://127.0.0.1:6379 (this is the default used by the orchestrator and its components).

Usage

Navigate to this crate's directory:

cd /path/to/herocode/circles/rhai_repl_cli

1. Interactive REPL

The main binary of this crate is an interactive REPL.

To run with default WebSocket URL (ws://127.0.0.1:8081/ws):

cargo run

To specify a WebSocket URL:

cargo run ws://<your-circle-server-ip>:<port>/ws
# Example for "Beta Circle" if configured on port 8082:
# cargo run ws://127.0.0.1:8082/ws

Once connected, you can:

Type single-line Rhai scripts directly and press Enter.
Use Vi keybindings for editing the current input line (thanks to rustyline).
Type .edit to open your $EDITOR (or vi by default) for multi-line script input. Save and close the editor to execute the script.
Type .run <filepath> (or run <filepath>) to execute a Rhai script from a local file.
Type exit or quit to close the REPL.

Command history is saved to .rhai_repl_history.txt in the directory where you run the REPL.

2. Non-Interactive Example (`connect_and_play`)

This example connects to a WebSocket server, sends a predefined Rhai script, prints the response, and then disconnects.

To run with default WebSocket URL (ws://127.0.0.1:8081/ws):

cargo run --example connect_and_play

To specify a WebSocket URL for the example:

cargo run --example connect_and_play ws://<your-circle-server-ip>:<port>/ws
# Example:
# cargo run --example connect_and_play ws://127.0.0.1:8082/ws

The example script is:

let a = 10;
let b = 32;
let message = "Hello from example script!";
message + " Result: " + (a + b)

Logging

Both the REPL and the example use the tracing crate for logging. You can control log levels using the RUST_LOG environment variable. For example, to see debug logs from the circle_client_ws library:

RUST_LOG=info,circle_client_ws=debug cargo run --example connect_and_play
