betty no longer shows list of known things

[lpanebr]

She used to:

$ betty abracadabra
Betty: Sorry, I don't know how to abracadabra yet. If you are a developer you can teach me!
I do know how to
Betty: Control Spotify
Betty: Count
Betty: Show information related to your User accounts
Betty: Download files from Internet, uncompress/compress them
Betty: Find files
Betty: Manipulate a running Procs (processes)
Betty: Control iTunes
Betty: Pull out Maps from Google
Betty: Find file Sizes
Betty: Show OS name
Betty: Manage file Permissions
Betty: Show information about Datetime
Betty: Translate

but now she:

$ betty abracadabra
Betty: I don't understand. Hopefully someone will make a pull request so that one day I will understand.

Was this deleted intentionally?

Here is a nicer version of the default answer:

commit 4fe3752
Date: Tue May 13 14:23:42 2014 +0200

added back examples

[pickhardt]

Yeah I did. I simplified the response when she doesn't understand. It's just nicer for her to give a simple reason than to have a huge list come out unexpectedly.

[lpanebr]

Ow I see. Perhaps she could say in the end:
If you want you can ask me betty what can you do?

And then she would show the list..

[pannous]

It was annoying with the say command, but it's okay with puts, right?

[lpanebr]

I am sorry. I don't know what you mean..

:-/

[pannous]

checkout dev, you'll see:

me:~/betty$ betty dfsfdsafd
Betty: I don't understand. Hopefully someone will make a pull request so that one day I will understand.
I do know how to

Count:      count lines in this folder
Datetime:       what time is it
Find:       find me all files that contain california

(examples not spoken)

[pannous]

Run it again and it will show you different examples

[lpanebr]

ow, I see..

Yes, this is interesting indeed. Adding a little fuzziness to the output makes it more human-like!

The tabs alignment are a problem though...

• perhaps bringing back the color to the Category and just using ": " to join the random sample output will make it nicer..
• Also changing I do know how to with Here is a sample of what I can do
• Then adding a \n And remember: when unsure ask me for help with 'betty help Count'

A final note: I had fixed the betty Process changing it to betty Procs as the former does not work..

great work!
