Running Goose with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)

If you're using WSL and face issues running Goose sessions, follow these steps:

1. Create a Shell Script

Inside your WSL terminal, create a file named run-extension.sh:

nano run-extension.sh

Paste the following content:

#!/bin/bash
java -jar "FULL_PATH_OF_JAR_FILE/target/mcp_feature-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar"

Replace FULL_PATH_OF_JAR_FILE with the actual path to your JAR file.

2. Ensure Java is Installed in WSL

If you encounter issues related to Java, ensure JDK is installed:

java -version

If not installed, you can install OpenJDK via:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install openjdk-21-jdk

3. Make the Script Executable

chmod +x run-extension.sh

4. Start Goose Session with Your Extension

goose session --with-extension="./run-extension.sh"

You're now ready to run your Spring Boot application integrated with MCP and the Goose AI Agent! 🧠🚀
