[Chimera-users] listen selection command

[Mungo Carstairs (Staff)]

Hi Conrad,

I tried changing 'rest' to 'url' but no joy.

I've also tried changing the IP address to 'localhost' and to '127.0.0.1' but no better.

I also separated out my command

"listen start selection rest <url>; listen start models rest <url>"

into two separate commands, also no change.
Ditto abbreviating 'selection' to 'select'.

Like Elaine, I did manage to see the "selection changed" message in a terminal window after starting Chimera that way and issuing the "listen start select" in the command line tool.

So still stumped.

[By the way, am I right in thinking the 'listen' command won't generate any callback for hovering over an atom to get the popup? Jmol can do this. Probably not needed if we can get the selection notification to work.]

Thanks,

Mungo

Can you please try using "listen start selection url
http://134.36.162.131:64745/", i.e., use "url" instead of "rest" as the
keyword?  I think that keyword may have been changed at some point and
the code and documentation got out of sync (strictly my fault).  Let me
know if that does not fix things.
