Atom package for run some commands in terminal, or just run terminal.

Some packages can run terminal «here», some can run scripts not in terminal, but tabs/views/etc. I prefer terminal, so this one can run terminal «here» with any arguments and run scripts or any kind of shell «one-liners».

• start terminal here
• start terminal here and run some command
• start terminal here and run some command with extra arguments
• string interpolation with arguments
• understanding shebang (utf-8 only)
• launchers — file extension based command chooser
• separate context menus for tabs, tree and editor

• feature: start terminal and run with extra arguments

start /D {working_directory} C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /u

and «terminal execution argument»:

/k

open -a /path/to/terminal.app

In deep, run-in-terminal use node.js child_process.exec function, so exec have cwd (current working directory) argument. But it doesn't works for any terminal. Some of them need launch «working directory» argument. That's why run-in-terminal have string interpolation of arguments. What is string interpolation means? run-in-terminal build full command at first step and replace predefined substrings with parameters at second. For values from «example value» column above we can have such scenario: opened /path/to/somedir/foo.py, which have #!/usr/bin/python3 shebang

start-terminal-here-and-run -> konsole --noclose --workdir {working_directory} -e /usr/bin/python3 {file_path}

this will be interpolated to:

start-terminal-here-and-run -> konsole --noclose --workdir "/path/to/somedir" -e /usr/bin/python3 "/path/to/somedir/foo.py"

If run-in-terminal can't determine launcher or file_path (file not saved and have no name) it will do start-terminal-here.

MacOS ver. 10.12.1, runing Atom ver. 1.11.2, using run-in-terminal ver. 0.6.0. The tested program is called test.py and in order to run the script successfully, one first change the python script into excutable:

chmod +x test.py

Then, one has to add the shebang into the first line of the python script:

#!/usr/bin/env python

Then one has to configure in the Settings:

1. In 'List of launchers by extension':

   .py {file_path}

2. In 'Terminal with argument':

open -a /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app {working_directory}

or, if just want to run script, then you can suppress the extra terminal by deleting {working_directory}:

open -a /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app

3. In 'Terminal execution argument':

   -e

4. Unselect 'Use shebang if available'.

*Notice that Settings only need to configure once. But every test.py files has to be changed into excutable and added shebang.

*Notice 'konsole --noclose --workdir' didn't work in this test case.
