I'm experimenting with programmatically provisioning the OpenStudio-server, and Ry Horsey suggested I give the openstudio_meta executable a try. It looks awesome, because it should take a lot of the heavy lifting out of trying to provision an AWS instance on the fly, and I do mean a lot of heavy lifting. Anyway, I'm playing around with it, and I thought this would be a chance to document what I'm doing and hopefully get some questions answered.

First, I used this executable, in the /bin folder of the Openstudio-server. I execute it with $ ./openstudio_meta <some command> on my Mac, and all is fine there. Seems to be working.

The executable as far as I can tell is not documented. But if you type --help at the end of any command, it appears to give you some instructions on options you can provide, etc.

There are six different commands you can run

• install_gems (not sure why we need gems if we are running remotely...but it seems the most logical and probably some dependencies are needed for this executable to run)

• start local/remote

• run
• stop local/remote

I believe, but have not yet verified, that this is more or less the order in which you'd want to use this executable.

I haven't gotten that far yet with this, right now I'm stuck on install_gems. I don't think it is the fault of the executable, I think it is a problem with my ruby environment. When I run $ ./openstudio_meta install_gems, bundler works, it installs everything in my gems folder, and then I see a bunch of health Using statements ... followed by :

Bundle updated!

Gems in the group test, development, and docker were not installed.

Then rake aborted!

I see something along the lines of

Load Error: cannot load such file -openstudio

I believe the reason this is happening is because I recently upgraded to Ruby 2.2.4 to be able to run OpenStudio 2.1 on my Mac, and I use RVM to manage my rubies and gemsets. I'm thinking that my ruby environment needs a tweak to get RVM gems and OpenStudio talking to one another. I've tried making modifications to my $PATH, but so far nothing is working.

Any thoughts? I'm hoping to keep posting as fixes are made to document this process for others who may use it.
