Write text 'pushd $dashboard_path ng serve -o' Write text 'dotnet run -debug -p $agent_proj' Write text 'dotnet run -debug -p $admin_api_proj' Set newTab to (create tab with default profile)

Write text 'pushd $root_path & $auth_api_script' Set newWindow to (create window with default profile) The following script makes me feel a bit dirty but hey it works and itвЂ™s only for occasional local dev machine use.ДЄuth_api_script='$root_path/auth-path/auth-script.sh'ДЄdmin_api_proj='$root_path/admin-path/admin.csproj'ДЄgent_proj='$root_path/agent-path/agent.csproj'Дashboard_path='$root_path/dashboard-web' The iTerm2 Python API is a supported way of doing this but it felt like more work than quick use of their deprecated Applescript API. With that in mind I turned to automating iTerm2 itself. I love iTerm2 and really wanted to launch these apps in their own tabs inside a new iTerm2 window. Granted I didnвЂ™t spend long on it but what I was really after was more at the terminal level anyway. None of those options gave me exactly what I was looking for in terms of Ctrl+C stop behavior and output control. I started to address this with some of these Bash techniques, running multiple commands with &, trying fg to send to the foreground, grabbing process ids with $!, waiting on termination etc. Another issue is the stdout logs of the apps are no longer separated but mixed in and hard to follow. Starting the processes then isnвЂ™t the problem but stopping a specific one easily and cleanly (or all of them) may become one.

On Windows multiple console instances are launched and outside of Windows it all happens in the current one. There was one considerable difference however.

Start-Process -FilePath 'pwsh' -WorkingDirectory $webPath -ArgumentList '-NoProfile -Command ng serve -o'Д«ecause PowerShell Core is cross-platform the script technically worked on Mac OS as well.

On Windows I had a PowerShell Core script with steps like the following. NET Core apps and an Angular website on Mac.

Recently I had a need to start 3 related. However sometimes there may be a need to run the apps outside of containers locally or maybe when working with one or more non-containerized apps. If the apps are containerized then a Docker compose file, docker-compose up, docker-compose logs, and docker-compose down may be sufficient. Often multiple related apps need to be started in concert for a product and itвЂ™s convenient to automate that for local development.
