Process Manager GUI

khepri's Issues

How feasible is STDIN?

Is it possible for the process manager to receive STDIN? Is it purely a logging / output service?

Wondering if it's investigation to setup usecases like binding.pry with the Rails server.

Unrelated, was also running into a weird issue with trying to exit the Rails server process after having stopped on a breakpoint. I'll post when I eventually can reproduce reliably.

Scrolling up to the top of a log should cause more history to be loaded

Right now when you switch from one process log to another we load in the last 1000 lines of history. This is sort of a compromise since the more history we load the slower the window is to initially render, but it's nice to be able to go back to earlier history.

We currently have hooks for scrolling in a log window and a mechanism for using tail to fetch logs; we would just need to figure out the correct offsets and then prepend the lines to the beginning of the buffer. Ideally as the user scrolled up more history would be filled in smoothly, rather than jumping all the way to the top as new history was added.

Import Procfiles

Many people use foreman/forego/heroku and this would be a nice way for them to quickly start using Khepri. Importing a Procfile should either replace or add to the existing list of processes stored in the json file.

This would involve adding a menu item using Electron's menu API.

Start and stop multiple apps at once

It should be possible to hold shift or cmd keys and select multiple processes at once. If multiple are selected, instead of showing the app's logs, show a summary of the state of selected processes ("4 started, 2 dead") and buttons to Start All, Stop All, and Restart All.

Open with Console.app

Khepri still lacks a few features that people may need to get day-to-day work done, such as filtering and search. It would be nice to quickly be able to open the logfile in the OS native logfile viewer when necessary.

Stops/restarts not working properly in High Sierra.

High Sierra introduced a bug where terminal sockets wouldn't get closed properly. The module that we use for terminal emulation, pty.js, has been abandoned but https://github.com/Tyriar/node-pty is replacing it. They have a fix for the issue in master but haven't yet cut a release, as soon as they do this issue will be solved.
