Cannot list graphs using system.graphs() in gremlin console - gremlin

Question

So I'm getting started with janusgraph and gremlin. I followed this guide https://developer.ibm.com/dwblog/2018/whats-janus-graph-learning-deployment/ to install and do some traverse on graph. Now i want to list all the graphs in the cassandra database with system.graphs() i got an error:
No such property: system for class: Script14
Type ':help' or ':h' for help.
Display stack trace? [yN]y

What did I do wrong and how can I fix this?

Answer 1

There is no notion of a system object that is native to Gremlin Server or JanusGraph which is why you're getting that error. The server simply doesn't know what that variable name is referring to.
To get the list of graph names you must use JanusGraph's ConfiguredGraphFactory at which point the syntax is:
ConfiguredGraphFactory.getGraphNames()
You can read more about that here in the JanusGraph Documentation or see the "Verify the Test Data on Your JanusGraph Deployment" section in the link you provided and pick up from there.
