[SOLVED] Testing Vertices creation from Groovy commandline in Rexster

Testing Vertices creation from Groovy commandline in Rexster

I have Titan (with embedded cassandra running on my system).

cd titan-cassandra-0.3.1
bin/titan.sh config/titan-server-rexster.xml config/titan-server-cassandra.properties

I have rexster server running

cd rexster-console-2.3.0
bin/rexster-console.sh

I have installed bulbs on my system as follows.

sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev
sudo apt-get install libyaml-dev

sudo pip install  https://github.com/espeed/bulbs/tarball/master

If I try the following from python code on my machine I run the following.

  from bulbs.titan import Graph
  g = Graph()
  switch = g.vertices.create(name="switch")
  device = g.vertices.create(name="device")
  g.edges.create(switch, "connected to", device)

My question is How do I know if the vertices with the above names have been created by querying the groovy command line in rexster?

Solution

I would think you could verify vertex creation in several ways:

Your switch and device variables should have some data in them, specifically a new vertex identifier should have been generate for them. Inspecting those variables should tell you something about creation.
But you specifically asked about the "groovy command line in rexster" which I think must mean rexster-console. Start it with bin/rexster-console.sh and then issue a g.V (or whatever gremlin you want - maybe a key index lookup on name if one has been defined - g.V('name','switch')).
