This configuration of Component Manager allows command line tools to connect to services exposed by session_manager at runtime. The specific configuration is set in config.json.
TODO(fxbug.dev/45361): Remove this work-around entirely.
See below for details.
Since this configuration is exclusively run in the context of using session_manager, refer to the instructions there.
It is currently impossible for a command line tool to acquire a service directly from a v2 component. This workaround uses a custom configuration of Component Manager to bridge service brokerage between the world of v1 components and v2 components.
This instance of Component Manager exposes services from its child's exec/expose/svc outgoing directory in its out/svc directory.
Used in combination with sysmgr‘s knowledge of components’ out/svc directories, this component can be used to allow command line tools to ask for specific services and have them provided by an instance of session_manager.
For example, it provides session_manager.config to sysmgr and allows session_control to connect to the fuchsia.session.Launcher service through session_control's environment.
