Here is the fork

@AdrieanKhisbe

@slinkardbrandon I might be interested into it :)
I some month ago open a series of issue to consider with refactor and associated 2.0

That would be great. I do wonder what the best way to revive a project is, as I've never actually taken part in a rewrite / revival. I feel as if it's hard for a lot of people to find the attempt to revive though since it's not super active yet. I'd really like to help get it going though, both for myself and my company (as we depend on vorpal for our cli tooling).

I like your ideas too, could be worth bringing up in the rewrite PR. I think a lot of the PRs are getting ignored right now.

I'm not sure how we can go about getting an issues board on Ore4444's fork, can we? I haven't tried to revive a project before so I'm not entirely sure how that works.

@AdrieanKhisbe

@slinkardbrandon Good question you are raising.
If only I had the answer ^^

I'm not sure how we can go about getting an issues board on Ore4444's fork, can we?

I'm not sure what you are trying to say

What I think, is that we could work on a fork, on which we would have kind of "free hands", with it's ow PR, and once we are good to go, we open the PR to merge back to original vorpal

If we try to revive vorpal, maybe the best place to host the work would be on the vorpaljs organisation, but I'm not sure who is managing it right now

Brandon Slinkard

@slinkardbrandon

I have an open PR for adding TSLint & Prettier into Ore's fork. If I don't see any response on it we may have to make a separate fork just to get the active fork rolling. (Or like you just suggested, maybe work out of their org if we could get access)

Adrien Becchis

@AdrieanKhisbe

also @slinkardbrandon, I tend to think that a open slack could be usefull, with several channels, in which we would welcome people interested into reforging the vorpal

If we go that way, we could state and communicate the approach with an issue on the vorpal repo

Brandon Slinkard

@slinkardbrandon

I would like that, Gitter is nice too so we'd be able to monitor both but Slack for active participants in the reforging could be very useful.

If i'm not mistaken you have open the PR on the original repo

Thats what I meant, gitter for the user community, slack for the builders (with integrations to github, travis, and else)

Brandon Slinkard

@slinkardbrandon

Yeah it does look like I opened the PR to Dthree/Vorpal. Oops

Adrien Becchis

@AdrieanKhisbe

@hongaar

:wave: hi all. Is anybody aware if a coordinated attempt to keep vorpal alive?

Would you be open to be part of it? :)

Brandon Slinkard

@slinkardbrandon

I reserved a channel for Vorpal. Invite Link. I do worry that since the community is fairly small, I don't want to split us further or make it appear that there is no work in progress though.

Joram van den Boezem

@hongaar

@AdrieanKhisbe @slinkardbrandon yes let's do it! We recently looked at oclif, but decided to stay with vorpal for now because of its features. Very open to help with a revival!

Adrien Becchis

@AdrieanKhisbe

@hongaar Awesome! :)

Ore Landau

@Ore4444

Hi @AdrieanKhisbe @slinkardbrandon @hongaar
I moved my fork to the GitHub org @slinkardbrandon created.
@dthree created for us an open PR to their repo from branch 2.0-ts, so all work should be done on that branch. dthree/vorpal#328
@slinkardbrandon, I don't see your PR. Maybe it was removed when I migrated the repo to new org?
I think since the community is here, we should keep discussion in this Gitter. Might be nice to have a dedicated room dthree/vorpal-reforge for the effort.

Brandon Slinkard

@slinkardbrandon

I think you don’t see my branch because I accidentally opened the PR to dthree’s 2.0-ts branch. I’ll see if I can get that fixed today. We did make the slack channel so we can get some integrations going but to prevent the team from getting split I think we need to remain vigilant of Gitter too.

Brandon Slinkard

@slinkardbrandon

We had a different Org set up vorpaljs-reforged that we ended up getting more people to join up with. I just made PRs from my org to the community with the larger org. I'll be sure to close mine down to prevent the segregation in the future.

Brandon Slinkard

@slinkardbrandon

I think as part of the reforge we should also replace mocha with jest 24

Brandon Slinkard

@slinkardbrandon

vorpaljs-reforged/vorpal#3

Made the PR to handle the jest conversion :)

Brandon Slinkard

@slinkardbrandon

After converting to jest and enabling coverage reporting I realized we have about 50% coverage. (Also none of the tests are using mocks, they’re mostly integration style tests). As a future PR we should start refactoring the tests to be actual unit tests and shoot for as close to 100% coverage as we can get without coding our src for our tests.

Brandon Slinkard

@slinkardbrandon

To draw attention to the above I also implemented coveralls with that PR.

Jason Schwarzenberger

@master5o1

how to prevent the process.exit() from happening on .parse()?

also, how can i capture the output to a string rather than the console?

(context: i am trying to use this to build a command line for a telegram bot.)

Jason Schwarzenberger

@master5o1

i think i'm ok now.

Stramaz

@stramaz_twitter

Hello all, just a question. is it possible to run vorpal command that execute a background process/service, exiting from application/vorpal, connecting later again in a second and attach to the previous "process"?
I.e.: Running some vorpal commands (than running one or more background processes), exit from shell/ssh, connecting again running again the application and "reconnecting" so I can "resume" the UI and interact with the previous started processes? I hope I was clear. Thanks!

donaldej

@donaldej

You would likely want to use IPC/sockets to connect/re-connect with some long running process you have spawned.

Stramaz

@stramaz_twitter

Yes, something like this. For example, I run via vorpal command a bot (ie: a trading bot), a service in background, later on I can run again the vorpal application and interact with that service running other vorpal commands (see stats, check progress, stop bot, change configuration, restart it)

Jens Kallup

@paule32

hello#

how can i embed vorpal in website?

Graham Holden

@TripeHound

Just started using Vorpal and got the basics in place... node myapp.js will open an interactive session and prompt for commands; node myapp.js mycmd myarg will run a command and return to the command-prompt. Is there a way of giving one or more commands on the command-line and then switching to accepting commands interactively? At the moment, after command-definition, I've got vorpal.parse( process.argv ).show() ;. TIA

Reservjesus

@grouchexmachina_twitter

So how dead is vorpal.js? Or is there a viable fork somewher

Robert Kraig

@robertkraig

is it possible to write a vorpal cli without being stuck in the event loop? like.. node cli.js mycommand:name --argument

Nokko

@nok-ko

hrrgh. why do my commands uh, say their name?

[nodemon] starting `node index.js`
listening on port 3000
op$ help
op$ help

  Commands:

    help [command...]  Provides help for a given command.
    exit               Exits application.
    say <message>      Sends a `serverchat` to the connected clients.
