Initial functionality

Summary

First implementation.

• Compiles
• Runs
• Returns errors.

Focus

• Does it build?
• Can the package be used?
• Is it possible to work with the errors?

Test Environment

1. Install libcaosdb with Conan: make conan-install on dev branch
2. Install Octave package: make install
3. Configure client json configuration in some directory according to libcaosdb instructions.
4. Start Octave: octave
5. Test the following:

pkg load caosdb
c = Caosdb()
c.info() # Should give the version
c2 = Caosdb(connection="doesnotexist")
c.info() # Should print an error
err = lasterror()
disp(err.identifier)
disp(err.message)

6. Go into test/ and run make test_detailed. make test does not work until CMake provides a feature or workaround for https://stackoverflow.com/questions/733475/cmake-ctest-make-test-doesnt-build-tests.
