Minimalistic task launcher
Gaucho can be downloaded here. Available versions for Linux, Mac and Windows (64 bits).
To use, unzip in the desired location and execute gaucho (execute file depends on you OS).
If you need a different version, please, follow the development instructions to make your own build from the source code
Gaucho allows you to configure tasks as part of different suites or groups you can access the different suites by clicking on its name in the navbar menu.
On each suite, you will find the list of possible tasks to launch. By clicking on Run you will start that task. Clicking the same button again (now the Stop button) you can stop the tasks.
You can easily see the name, execution time and status of each task. The status (shown with the status icon) can be idle (black), running (blue), successful (green) or failed (red).
Clicking in the task name the log will be displayed, allowing you to check the task output in real time.
By clicking the Edit button (on the top right corner) you'll be able to edit the suites and tasks.
You can add new tasks to the current suite by clicking "Add New Task" at the bottom of the list. By clicking on a task name you'll be able to edit that task.
While editing/creating a new tasks, you should add a name to the task and a command. The command can be any shell/terminal accepted command or an executable file. Optionally a path can be added as well, if no path is added, the gaucho execution path will be used.
The tasks can be deleted by clicking the Delete button.
Keep in mind that you won't be able to run new tasks in edit mode
While in edit mode, suites names can also be changed by clicking on it. To close edit mode simply click again on the edit button.
Next to the edit button, is the menu button. When clicking the menu, several options will be shown, those options may change if the edit mode is active:
Normal mode
- Run Suite: Runs all tasks in the current suite (except those already running)
- Stop Suite: Stops all running tasks in suite
Edit mode
- Add new Suite: Created a new suite
- Delete Suite: Deletes current suite
All tasks and user changes are saved automatically when closing gaucho. This includes all the tasks/suites information as well as the window size.
This information is stored in
config.json
andtasks.json
if any of those files is not present, the default configuration will be loaded and the file will be created
