ares-inspect luna-send command failed

Question

I'm trying to debug my webos3 tv but I keep getting the following error:

ares-inspect --device web30 com.starz.lgtv.app_0.0.1_all.ipk 
ares-inspect ERR! ares-inspect: Error: luna-send command failed (not exist)

It doesn't say anywhere in the documentation what luna-send is and it's closed source. I'm running on mac using the cli for webos. Is there anything I need to install?

Thanks

By trial and error, I found that you need to omit the version numbers for it to work:

ares-inspect --device web30 com.starz.lgtv.app --open

Don't forget the --open argument to open the inspector. :-)

The documentation doesn't explicitly say that you need to omit it but it is inferred in the demo code:

Did you remove the suffix "_all" too ? – Abdurrahman Adebiyi Apr 21 '19 at 13:18

It's not about omitting version or removing suffixes from filenames. You should use the app id here, same as in your appinfo.json file.

ares-inspect [OPTION...] [--app|-a] APP_ID

APP_ID = ID of the app whose information is to be viewed using Web Inspector.

See http://webostv.developer.lge.com/sdk/tools/using-webos-tv-cli/ for reference.
