Changing modules in the shell
Hello all,
Quick intro - I've recently started using mynewt and hoping to use it
primarily for the Bluetooth and LoraWAN functionality. I quite like the
package and syscfg system in mynewt, I think it's very flexible and I look
forward to seeing the project grow. I've managed to make a small
contribution (
https://github.com/apache/mynewt-core/pull/1180#pullrequestreview-127505931)
and hope to get involved more.
I have a question regarding shell modules (mynewt master - cloned 2018/06).
I've created a new shell module and registered it using shell_register,
then set it as the default module using shell_register_default_module. The
module works fine and I can access the commands no problem. I can use the
select command to to change modules as described in the documentation (
https://mynewt.apache.org/latest/os/modules/shell/shell/), but the
documentation also states the following:
"To run a command in the shell, you enter the module name and the command
name."
I can't seem to get this to work - if the compat module is currently set,
and I have a module "gpio" with a command "set", I can't seem to run "gpio
set" from within the compat module.

Yes, I think that was the intention that it works from top menu when no
subshell is selected. Maybe we should update docs to clarify that..

After playing around some more, it appears that this only works when you
are in the base "shell" module, but not from other sub-modules.
