Stop a script #29

Closed Rolias closed 1 year ago

Rolias commented 2 years ago

This extension is great, thank you for writing it. The one thing I wish it had was a Stop Script button like Apple's script editor. I was doing repeat until and sometimes things would hang up. A trip to the Activity Monitor allowed me to kill the wayward process but a stop button would have been a welcome convenience. It would also be nice to have indentation formatting support but I get the feeling that is probably a much bigger deal.

As far as I can tell, this should be possible. However, I don't think it's possible to differentiate the process, so a stop button would kill all osascript/osacompile processes launched by the extension.

It might actually possible, since spawned processes have a unique ID

+1 for this request Vscode is a much better environment to develop a variety of code

There's a new branch feature/kill-process in which I'm testing this feature. While killing the process works, the UX is far from satisfying.

I went for a message dialog, but these can't be closed programmatically (by design) 😞

The other option I'm thinking about is a global button near the existing buttons at the top right. The downside of this is that you'd have to select the process you want to terminate, even though I guess most people only run one.

Any thoughts?
