Comments on: palm-run: package, run, launch and then see log messages

For what it’s worth, I’ve been doing something like this, but using GNU make:

http://github.com/lmorchard/blockchalk-webos/blob/master/Makefile

With that fairly project-generic Makefile I can do the following (on OS X):

* switch between emulator (TCP) and device (USB)
* package, install, run, and tail log
* run main app or start up a Mojo.Test runner
* either use palm-log or tail -f via novaterm, since palm-log has a bug with long lines.
* build docs with JSDoc
* run jslint
* account for little bugs in Luna that prevented the inspector from properly attaching (though those may be fixed by now)

Frederic,

Good point. Would you like to default to having it always part of palm-launch?

Cheers,

Dion

Great job,

but i think the -i option for palm-launch is kinda missing, i use it quite often with the inspector, makes testing a lot easier!

I haven’t used the command line tools much since the recent Ares release. I do still `tail -f /var/log/messages`, so thanks for the palm-log tip. Guess I missed that in the docs.

It would be interesting to hear more of your thoughts on where Ares is now and how it fits into your workflow.

Also related to Ares: expanded/customizable keyboard shortcut keys would be useful.

Keep up the great innovative work!
