Experiment: Hurl Proxy Launcher #123

Closed U-C-S closed 3 weeks ago

U-C-S commented 3 weeks ago

A small experiment to have a proxy application handle the startup and args forwarding instead of launching a new Hurl application instance, which I believe is the cause for slow startup.

Proxy application is written in Rust, uses Tokio Named Pipes to forward data to existing Hurl instance

Damn.... This is actually super fast

I just removed old way of single instancing, used the proxy which just passes the cli args it gets to the main app. Will need to do some stuff. then will do a alpha release for this.

TODO:

[x] Trim the launcher app
[x] Point Registry entries in inno setup script to the launcher app
[x] Handle case where multiple mains apps be active (might need back SingleInstanceCore just for this or do the way that LLT does it since we dont need to handle args for this case)
[x] Launch new Hurl instance if there's no active instance of it from the launcher app
