The third prototype is done, and pretty functional.
It is more of a smaller iteration on prototyle 2.
We do abuse eval to start our initial command without pushing a huge command into the BUFFER,
which shouldn’t have to many consequences,
unless the user is using $funcstack,
or return at the top level.
This is better, since it will kill the background processes at the end. I would call this functional enough for experienced use, you probably won’t run into too many bugs.
Some TODOs:
- Add exit traps for cleanup in case the user exits the shell before finishing the pipe
- Prepare some README for prompt integration using
$_ZPLUMBER_START_BUFFER. - Fix out of date tests.
It will be difficult to test now that we are using
eval, so hopefully I can find a different way to run commands that will fix thereturn/$funcstack/etc. problems.
