mos tool --port option returns "Unknown command" about mongoose-os HOT 11 CLOSED

OK. That's your problem. Although opening the mos.exe directly opens an interface I do not use it at all. Just run the mos tool via the command prompt. Don't use the GUI that opens.

from mongoose-os.

Also, and sorry for the double comment. The mos tool might linger in the background as I think it doesn't close when you close the window. So make sure to terminate the GUI process if it stays open.

I wonder why the GUI doesn't.... :/

Because it is a relic of their first iterations where they had a code editor and a bunch of functionality that made a lot more sense. Mostly because in that time mOS was banking on mJS a lot. Moving forward mJS was changed to a "prototyping language" and they downgraded the GUI to what I believe is a mostly unusable collection of windows.

Can't blame them though, if anything I'd like the GUI to be completely removed to avoid these issues moving forward, the rest of the mos program is OK.

I'm getting "not valid JSON String" errors...

JSON strings need to be properly escaped in Windows. String arguments will not accept single quotes ' as its delimiter so any JSON needs to be enclosed on double quotes " and every single internal double quote will need to be escaped with a backslash \ so your command would be mos --port mqtt://10.201.102.40:1883/esp32_8ae410 call OTA.Update "{\"url\": \"http://10.12.24.3:3000/firmware/firmware.zip\", \"commit_timeout\": 300}"

Thank you so much for your help!!!

It does work. It may not be working for you under some circumstances.
I suggest you ask for help at the forum https://community.mongoose-os.com/

I've used mongoose for 7 or so years and I've never seen that command response. I usually roll with the latest build instead of release. Try it out https://mongoose-os.com/downloads/mos-latest/win/mos.exe

Sadly, the system is not allowing signups. Clicking the "Create your account" button does nothing.
I've searched through the community pretty heavily though, to make sure my syntax was correct on the command, and found nobody else who had reported a similar issue.

edit: Apparently one must sign up with github or google.... not directly.

I've never seen Unknown command on mongoose nor on anything trying to use serial ports. Is this not a normal windows instance? Different terminal? Running on a virtual machine? Why does it have a $ for a prompt? And why does it print "Command completed." when the mos binary exits?

I have no clue what would be different about it.
Windows 10 Enterprise, and Windows 11 Pro, Neither running in VM, opened mos by double clicking the mos.exe.
I am very very new with mongooseos, so could easily be doing something wrong, thus me trying to follow the guides exactly.

No worries.
Yes in command line it seems to be working.

also, slighly off topic.... is my syntax correct here with OTA.Update (https://mongoose-os.com/docs/mongoose-os/api/rpc/rpc-service-ota.md)

mos --port mqtt://10.201.102.40:1883/esp32_8ae410 call OTA.Update '{"url": "http://10.12.24.3:3000/firmware/firmware.zip", "commit_timeout": 300}'

I'm getting "not valid JSON String" errors...
