CLI v0.8.0 expected behaviour?

Playing about with the latest CLI and I got this - is this expected behaviour?

willie@gagarin:~/projects/maidsafe$ safe auth status
Sending request to authd to obtain an status report...
+------------------------------------------+----------------+
| SAFE Authenticator status                |                |
+------------------------------------------+----------------+
| Authenticator daemon version             | <not reported> |
+------------------------------------------+----------------+
| Logged in to a SAFE account?             | Yes            |
+------------------------------------------+----------------+
| Number of pending authorisation requests | 0              |
+------------------------------------------+----------------+
| Number of notifications subscribers      | 2              |
+------------------------------------------+----------------+

Yes, that’s because you are still using authd v0.0.2 I presume? you just need to update your authd with $ safe auth update which reports the version in the response.

Good, you just need to restart authd so it launches the new version: $ safe auth restart

I’d hate to think you published it and none of us tried to use it…

I presume that I am just like any other developer, when I was a kid and started creating software my big dream was simple: “It would be sooo amazing people using what I just created with my keyboard…”, that’s still what I look forward and dream of even that I could say I achieved that dream…but also as I presume any other developer, I want more! …it’s a strong drug :smiley:

Is it planned that the update will auto-restart authd, or at least ask/prompt?

It surely can be an addition to consider

If the restart is necessary for the upgrade to take effect, I believe that that would be the correct default behavior.

Yeah, I wouldn’t strongly disagree, but I always think of those cases where the CLI is used from scripts, automated/backend systems, which may have different flows for when things should start/stop, etc.
