The terminology for this library makes the use of "window" confusing. I want to spin up a separate, detached window, not a new tab (which this library refers to as a "window"). Is this possible?

With the new beta version of Iterm I get the following erorr.

47:53: syntax error: Expected end of line but found class name. (-2741)

windows:
   - name: projectName
     root: ~/dev/repos/projectName
     layout: main-vertical
     panes:
       - commands:
         - . ./setantenv.sh
         - ant clean
         - ant all
         - ./startHybris-osx.sh debug
         name: Hybris server
       - commands:
         - git status
         name: 'git'
       - git fetch origin`

The following iTermocil config:

windows:
  - name: test
    root: ~
    command: echo 'hello'

results in the following output:

Last login: Tue May  2 13:35:58 on ttys019
e; c; h; o;  ; '; h; e; l; l; o; '
<compname>:~ <username>$ e; c; h; o;  ; '; h; e; l; l; o; '
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
<compname>:~ <username>$

It seems I am unable to open a pane-less window.

$ itermocil --version

Hi,

iTermocil.yml might not be viewable other than the project's own files. This is a common way of storing configuration data as you know from the libraries like, for example, .babelrc, .nvmrc, .eslint.rc.js, .gitignore etc.

I think that renaming that file to .itermocil.yml would be more user friendly.

What do you think?

We should now have our own directory as there are enough non-teamocil users using this.

I would like to implement something like this:

layout: h-1-2
would interpret each number as rows of column

*******************************
|                        |                             |
|                        *****************
|                        |                             |  
*******************************

layout: v-2-1
would interpret each number as columns of row

*******************************
|                        |                             |
*******************************
|                                                      |  
*******************************

What do you think?

iTerm Build 2.1.1

Installed latest version of itermocil (0.1.8) and iTerm2 (2.1.4) with following project

windows:
  - name: sample
    root: ~
    layout: main-vertical-flipped
    panes:
       - echo "1"   
       - echo "2"
       - echo "3"

Here is output, notice all commands are executed on all panes:

I've already set up a bunch of profiles in iTerm2 (pane name, badge, ssh command, colors, font, and etc.), and would like to reuse this profile by specifying in itermocil's yaml file. Is this possible?

Hi! I have iTerm, which were compiled from git master branch and itermocil fails b/c build number is not int (it contains git string).

I've hacked together an Automator app which handles iTermocil layout files (named as *.itermocil), so you can launch it only by clicking it (no need to be in iTerm as it will open a new terminal).

Really handy for launching whole projects (servers, browsers, finder, etc.) in 1-click.

Here's how to use it: http://tilyoumake.it/things/momentum/.
Happy to see how this could be improved.

iTerm 3.0.0 is out!

$ echo 'get version of application "iTerm"' | osascript
3.0.0

Unfortunately this version checking bit does not expect a normal semantic version yet so it bails out thinking the iTerm build is too old: https://github.com/TomAnthony/itermocil/blob/master/itermocil.py#L34

itermocil has broken for me and I'm not sure why. I occasionally run a system update command, that's all I can think of which has changed since it was working.

# alec at Alec's MacBook in ~ [13:01:00]
→ itermocil dotfiles
201:235: execution error: iTerm got an error: Can’t make «class » id 24060 into type specifier. (-1700)

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling itermocil, and cutting down my ~/.itermocil directory to just one small file, still no dice.

itermocil --list still successfully displays my files, but when I launch one a new tab opens (where I would expect to see the commands run) with nothing and the previous tab contains the above error.

Running iTerm2 3.0.20160722-nightly

Hey Tom, great app!

I'm trying to run my commands starting with an SSH into a remote box. then from there, change directories and eventually run a top or tail a log file.

so my YML file is something like this:

windows:
  - name: Test
    root: ~/
    layout: even-horizontal
    panes:
      - commands:
        - ssh username@host
        - sudo su - someotheruser
        - tail -f somefile
      - commands:
        - ssh username@host
        - sudo su - someotheruser
        - top

Though the 2nd and 3rd command execute on my shell before SSH'ing into the remote box. Now I understand why this would be tricky, though is there a way to do this?

Itermocil version: 0.1.8
iTerm version: Build 2.9.20160313
Python version: 2.7.10
OS X version: 10.11.2 (15C50)

When trying to start with the "even-horizontal" sample I get the following error:

$ itermocil sample
26:33: execution error: Can’t get application "iTerm". (-1728)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/itermocil/0.1.8/libexec/bin/itermocil", line 6, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/itermocil/0.1.8/libexec/bin/itermocil.py", line 687, in main
    instance = Itermocil(filepath, here=args.here, cwd=cwd)
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/itermocil/0.1.8/libexec/bin/itermocil.py", line 28, in __init__
    major_version = self.get_major_version()
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/itermocil/0.1.8/libexec/bin/itermocil.py", line 95, in get_major_version
    return float(v[:3])
ValueError: could not convert string to float:

This happens for whichever layout I've tried.
My theory is that the function "get_version_string" can't find the iTerm application:

 $ osascript -e 'get version of application "iTerm"'
 4:11: execution error: Can’t get application "iTerm". (-1728)
 $ osascript -e 'get version of application "iTerm2"'
 2.9.20160313

I don't remember installing iTerm in a different way than mentioned on iTerms website, and I only have one iTerm installed (#35).

When manually trying to edit the itermocil.py with the above change I get:

47:53: syntax error: Expected end of line but found class name. (-2741)

But I don't have more time to put on this right now. Hope this helps

I wish to open 10 tiled terminals. When I try to do so I receive the following error:

2871:2878: syntax error: Expected end of line but found class name. (-2741)

My yml file looks like this:

windows:
  - name: my_servers
    root: ~/some_important_server_directory/
    layout: tiled
    panes:
      - ssh <server 0>
      - ssh <server 1>
      - ssh <server 2>
      - ssh <server 3>
      - ssh <server 4>
      - ssh <server 5>
      - ssh <server 6>
      - ssh <server 7>
      - ssh <server 8>
      - ssh <server 9>

Could it be possible to implement a feature that toggles the "input broadcasting" on (⌘⇧I) in all panes when creating a new session?

Just dropped a config file into our projects git repo but running itermocil --layout itermocil.yml --here isn't ideal, it'd be nice to be able to drop it into the root like a .gitignore or .editorconfig

It'd be cool if it was possible to fallback to a check for a file in the current directory if nothing is found in the users root. I'm not a python dev but I can give a shot at a PR to be reviewed if you think it's worthwhile.

Thoughts?

Configuration:

windows:
 - name: backend
   root: ~/dev/backend/projectname
   layout: even-horizontal
   panes:
     - commands:
       - vagrant up
       - vagrant ssh
     - charm .

 - name: frontend
   root: ~/dev/frontend/projectname
   layout: main-vertical-flipped
   panes:
     - webpack
     - npm start
     - commands:
       - charm .
       focus: true

What happens:

• first window gets loaded as it should
• second window only has it's first pane loaded

When I load both windows in each their own config file and calling itermocil backend; itermocil frontend I get this error:

424:478: execution error: iTerm got an error: Can’t get session 4 of current terminal. Invalid index. (-1719)

But when I run itermocil backend and itermocil frontend separately it works as expected.

itermocil --edit sample didn't work for me because I have the environment variable EDITOR set to subl -w. When I changed it to just subl it worked.

When updating my brew packages itermocil was bumped to 0.1.6. I'm now receiving this every time I open my terminal or attempt to run itermocil:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/itermocil/0.1.6/libexec/bin/itermocil", line 3, in <module>
    from itermocil import main
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/itermocil/0.1.6/libexec/bin/itermocil.py", line 8, in <module>
    import yaml
ImportError: No module named yaml

Any ideas? My ~/.teamocil folder remains unchanged after the upgrade.

I had some issues that docker-machine didn't support my latest iterm2 because the api had changed. Maybe this is a similar issue:

docker-archive/toolbox#81 (comment)

    self.arrange_panes(len(window['panes']), layout)
KeyError: 'panes'

I'm on Build 2.9.20151006-nightly.

The config is as simple as this:

~ ❯❯❯ cat .teamocil/test.yml                                                                                                                                             ⏎
windows:
  - name: test
    root: ~/
    layout: tiled
    commands:
      - pwd
~ ❯❯❯

When creating saved window arrangements with iTerm2, you can assign a keyboard shortcut to launch a predefined layout of windows/splits etc. I like this library but don't want to have to type a command to do this.

I get the following error when trying to install:

I just installed iTermocil and your layout examples in README.md work fine, all but the last one "A paneless window".

windows:
  - name: pane-less
    root: ~/Code/sample/www
    command: rails console
windows:
  - name: one_more-pane-less
    root: ~/Code/sample/www
    commands:
      - bundle update
      - rails server

If I put that code into a paneless.yml file and run itermocil paneless, it just opens one tab with the window defined last (one_more-pane-less) and runs its commands, but it completely ignores the first one (pane-less).

I really wanted to have one my_big_project.yml file where I define several windows to be opened in several tabs (some of them will be split in panels, others won't). Isn't that possible?

If i run itermocil when i have broadcast input, the launch fails and i have to close the windows, disable broadcast input, run itermocil again, and re-enable broadcast input. The itermocil application should be able to gracefully handle the broadcast input toggle (e.g., check for it, and temporarily disable it when launching the layout).

It would be awesome if you were to use itermocil in a directory, that all roots specified as relative paths (or if omitted) would be relative to the current working directory.

windows:
  - root: some-api
  ...
  - root: other-api

~/Projects/my-company> $ itermocil

So that you can specify a file in a specific location to edit instead of just being able to edit files in the ~/teamocil directory.

Is there a way to have one pane wait for another to finish before executing? My use case is around launching boot2docker and then once the VM is up running containers.

A great project! The thing I was looking for, thanks, @TomAnthony and contributors.

I wanted to use a layout like this:

It's good for watching background scripts and having a focused bottom window for git.

Since I didn't find this layout in the readme.md, I had to try one by one layouts form the test-layouts/ directory to came up with layout: tiled

What's the better way to find a layout I need?

Hi! Discussion issue about extend layouts functionality so they can accept args and params passed from the CLI (example taken from tmuxinator).

itermocil node-app my-project root=~/Dev/my-project

.itermocil/
  |-- node-app.yml

windows:
  - name: <%= @args[0] %>         # `my-project` will be used
    root: <%= @params['root'] %>  # `~/Dev/my-project` will be used
    layout: tiled
    panes:
      - atom .
      - git status
      - npm start

Heh, saw the change in the iterm update changelog, but couldn't resist :)

The error is:

140:176: execution error: iTerm got an error: Can’t make "window-1" into type integer. (-1700)

And the changelog message was something like (couldn't find a link to it, sorry):

Return a real window.ID (integer) rather than a string

Thanks, really appreciate itermocil :)

I don't know if the expected behaviour but i think this is really "annoying"

I'm using this layout:

windows:
  - name: sample-3-columns
    root: ~/Projects/Website
    layout: 3_columns
    panes:
      - echo "bla"
      - echo "bla"
      - echo "bla"
      - echo "bla"

Is it because a iTerm option or something like this?

A buddy of mine recommended this application to me, but I am having a slight issue. When I try to build layouts it creates tabs in iterm 2 and does not split the windows. Thoughts?

After upgrading the iterm2 to version Build 3.0.0, it will occur error when I execute itermocil:

I want to connect via "eb ssh" to an elastic beanstalk instance - their ssh wrapper does not allow to execute commands via the invoking cli after opening the shell. ssh -t etc.
is it somehow possible to type into the open shell, send a command, etc.?

As you see here I set titles manually by hitting command + i and escape.

Is it possible to set titles in yml file?

When i upgrade my iterm2 to 3.0.0, the itermocil not word any more.
The error shows:

This is an unsupported beta build of iTerm.
Try the latest nightly, or the 2.1.1 stable build.
See Readme notes for more info. Sorry!

Can you make your itermocil support iterm2 3.0.0?

Has anyone worked on a 4 or 5 column layout?

Is it possible to for example set height for first row in layout and have other rows fill the remaining height or things like that?

No issue; just wanted to say that your project is great :). Using it every day.

Hi,

I do not think the commando tiled work as it should or I am miss understand the function.

If I try the example:

windows:

• name: _tiled_4_panes
  root: ~
  layout: tiled
  panes:
  • echo "pane 1"
  • echo "pane 2"
  • echo "pane 3"
  • echo "pane 4"

I get this result:

It should be like this ?

Great stuff! I have been looking for something to define/automate/version control iTerm layouts! Thank you!

Since I am not using Homebrew, I tried to install via pip. That itself works flawlessly, but I could not use the itermocil command right away, as upon the first test execution I were receiving a stack trace pointing at the invalid syntax for print usage (missing parentheses). Then I realised that I have Python 3.5, and it seems that your script is meant for Python 2.7.

It could have saved me some time and headache if Python version support would have been stated in the docs. It might be useful to add.

I've just picked up this tool, seems to work nicely, thanks! Is there any way to set up a layout with two panes, one being 2/3rds the width of a window, and the next one third? Looking at the source code and browsing through the iTerm docs I couldn't quickly find anything that would allow setting widths by ratio or pixels

Hey, this looks like a great script! I tend run commands in multiple tabs rather than panes. Do you think tab manipulation could be added to itermocil? I think it would be a good addition as you already have all that AppleScript machinery in place.

The layout file could perhaps look like

windows:
  - name: blah
    tabs:
      - root: ~
        layout: even-horizontal
        panes:
          - echo "pane 1"
          - echo "pane 2"

I have updated the brew installation to v0.2.1 to support iTerm2 3.0 but I am getting error running what seems to be a really simple panel setup.

Here is my setup

10:19:27 ~$ itermocil --show work
windows:
  - name: myserver
    root: ~/
    command: ssh myserver
10:21:05 ~$ itermocil work
163:169: syntax error: Expected end of line but found class name. (-2741)

I am just trying to test the water before building my entire config but kept running into this issue.

I just realized another issue after closing all my iTerm2's and trying again. This time it opens up an iTerm session. I don't understand why it is trying to open up iTerm instead of using the running iTerm2.

10:26:10 ~$ itermocil work
47:53: syntax error: Expected end of line but found class name. (-2741)

thank you all for this great cli tool, love it
I just like this iterm theme in the screenshot in README and wanna know about it
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TomAnthony/itermocil/master/itermocil.gif

First off, I have to say that I love itermocil so far! My only gripe is that I wish there was a "reverse" version of the main-vertical and main-horizontal layouts. Something akin the below example would be amazing:

.------------------.------------------.
