simpler than gulp-runtime

@DarkPark

This is maybe what I should have done from the beginning with gulp-runtime just a simple module.

I think you'll be interested in this one @DarkPark

thanks
will sure take a look
I also have an alternative point of view on the matter
after I think it over I'm going to discuss it with you - you may like it as well :)

Great 👍

Know what I just made you collaborator, so do as you see fit ;)

thanks :)

it works :)

only one minor thing I've noticed - need to press Ctrl+C twice to exit
the package node-static is seems the cause (without this task works fine)
but I remember you've already fixed the similar issue
maybe you can advise something?

found it:

var repl = require('gulp-repl');

repl.on('SIGINT', function () {
    process.exit();
});

Yep, that's it :). If you want to PR and merge it go ahead. Add an exit code though (process.exit(0)).

I've thought to add the ability to run in a task in series/parallel directly from the repl. But not much more aside of whats here. Any ideas?

but it's possible to run tasks in parallel
in console I can type:

> img jade less

and I see in logs that they run in parallel

sadly it's impossible to run a task with options

Yes, gulp runs them in parallel by default. I was talking about this

> series img jade less

Being series a special word for the repl.

With gulp-runtime you can pass options :).

var gulp = require('gulp-runtime').create({repl: true});

gulp.task('jade :glob', function(){
  // do stuff
});

gulp.stack('jade app/**/*.jade')();

Same using the repl

> jade app/**/*.jade

But to do that you have to monkeypatch gulp.task so you can modify how tasks are defined. I would like to keep things simple for this one.

That said, if you find some simple way I'm up to it.

EDIT: that's one of the reasons I had to do all using vinyl-fs directly

I see
One more idea - persistent history
using console a log I get used to have a full history of your commands
and in the repl you have it as well but only for the current session
would be cool to save it in a configured file on exit and restore it on start

Yeah, that would be great. They did this on nodejs/node#1513, I'll take a look on how they did it. In any case it should be behind an option like repl({historyFile: 'some/path/here'}) so it does not surprise anyone when it writes to disk.

agree
seems promising

one more idea
in case you mistype a task name you get:

[16:53:23] Task 'll' is not in your gulpfile
[16:53:23] Please check the documentation for proper gulpfile formatting

and process exits
would be nice to not halt the programm

Yep, that's doable. It would be just to check each of the given arguments before running them and see if there is any that is not defined as a task.

What about not exiting the process at all? I mean, just to mistype a name is not a big deal

you can say it's an alternative approach
I'm talking about web interface to gulp tasks - to see the list of all tasks, run them, see logs, filter each task log or all tasks at once and so on ...

That would be really cool!

We could do a native app using electron for example.

There is one https://github.com/sindresorhus/gulp-app already :)

But you are talking more like a dashboard and the latter is more like a notifier app, which is also good. I like the idea of a simple app for this.

will check your links now
but anyway it would be good probably to discuss it somewhere else

ok, other repo right?

I think maybe skype or email

ok, whatever you like

hello
what do you think about ability to set process environment via repl?
e.g.

> DEBUG_LEVEL=2 mytask

with or without a task

You could do that with gulp-runtime like this

var gulp = require('gulp-runtime').create({repl: true});
gulp.task(':envFlag([A-Z_]+=?\\S*)', function(next){
   console.log(this.params);
   var flag = this.params.envFlag.split('=');
   process.env[flag[0]] = flag[1] || true;
   next();
});

// will run the handle above
gulp.stack('DEBUG_LEVEL=2')();

EDIT: I edited so the example is more complete

But maybe is a good idea to put it here anyway it would not take much.

ok, I'll check it

Thank you so much for the module, haha it's great

😄 welcome man thanks for the kind words
