Ruby: API Enable/Disable interface

RouterOS Scripting
1

Hello

I need your help. I am programing an easy desktop app for my woman, so she can easily enable / disable virtual wifi interface for our guests.
I have nice class ready but I miss the most important methods for enabling / disabling interface. :smiley:

I found out that I am not able to enable / disable interface using ruby mtik4.0.3 package/gem. Using ruby API CLI called tikcli I am able to get details of an interface, in the code I am querying using .id attribute. But when I try to send enable/disable request using .id , nothing happens (nor name, nor numbers attributes work) -> interface does not change its state.

Can you check if this API command is working in ROS 6.35.1 ? I saw some PHP implementations on the internet, I do not understand why it should not work in Ruby, also response of request is !DONE, so RB clearly understood what was requested.

Or am I missing something ?

thanks Jozef

You need to fetch the ID with a separate print request, and only then supply it to the other command. Supply it as an argument, not as a query.

i.e.

<<< '/interface/enable' (17)
<<< '=numbers=*B' (11)
<<< '.tag=6' (6)
<<< END-OF-SENTENCE
