ZSH Auto-Notify
===============

|CircleCI| |Version| |GPLv3|

Simple zsh plugin that automatically sends out a notification when a long running task
has completed.

Useful for those commands you don't predict will take long to run or just plain forgot
to keep track of. Leave the task running and go do something else - ``auto-notify`` will
let you know when the task is done! :tada:

Usage
-----

You don't need to do anything. Once it's installed,
``zsh-auto-notify`` will let you know if a long running task has completed its work via a
notification in your desktop environment.

Requirements
------------

``auto-notify`` officially supports zsh versions 5.1 onwards.

It is possible the plugin might work on even older versions.
However they would not have been tested as part of the CI test process.

Supported desktop environments:

* Linux X/Wayland (Requires ``notify-send`` to be installed)
* MacOSX

Installation
------------

Add one of the following to your ``.zshrc`` file depending on your
package manager:

ZPlug_

::

    zplug "MichaelAquilina/zsh-auto-notify"

Antigen_

::

    antigen bundle "MichaelAquilina/zsh-auto-notify"

Zgen_

::

    zgen load "MichaelAquilina/zsh-auto-notify"

oh-my-zsh_

Copy this repository to ``$ZSH_CUSTOM/custom/plugins``, where ``$ZSH_CUSTOM``
is the directory with custom plugins of oh-my-zsh `(read more) <https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/Customization/>`_:
::

    git clone https://github.com/MichaelAquilina/zsh-auto-notify.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/auto-notify


Then add this line to your ``.zshrc``. Make sure it is **before** the line ``source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh``.

::

    plugins=(auto-notify $plugins)


Configuration
-------------

**Notification Threshold**

By default, ``auto-notify`` will send notifications for tasks that take longer than 10 seconds. You
can configure this value by setting the environment variable ``AUTO_NOTIFY_THRESHOLD``:

::

    # Set threshold to 20seconds
    export AUTO_NOTIFY_THRESHOLD=20


**Notification Expiration Time**

You can set how long a notification sent by ``auto-notify`` will remain showing by setting the environment
variable ``AUTO_NOTIFY_EXPIRE_TIME`` to a custom value in milliseconds. The default value is set to 8 seconds.
NOTE: This configuration option currently only works for Linux.

::

    # Set notification expiry to 10 seconds
    export AUTO_NOTIFY_EXPIRE_TIME=10000


**Ignored Commands**

A number of commands do not get notifications for long running times due to their nature (e.g. ``watch`` or ``man``).
The list of ignored commands is specified in the ``AUTO_NOTIFY_IGNORE`` environment variable. This can be modified
or completely overwritten based on your use case.

::

    # Add docker to list of ignored commands
    AUTO_NOTIFY_IGNORE+=("docker")

Make sure that you append to the array above *after* your plugin manager has been loaded in your ``zshrc``.

If you wish to completely redefine what is ignored and not ignored, then just set ``AUTO_NOTIFY_IGNORE`` to
a new array.

::

    # redefine what is ignored by auto-notify
    export AUTO_NOTIFY_IGNORE=("docker" "man" "sleep")

Temporarily Disabling Notifications
-----------------------------------

You can temporarily disable auto notify by running the command ``disable_auto_notify``.

When you want to re-enable notifications, run the command ``enable_auto_notify``.

Contributing
------------

Pull requests and Feedback are welcome! :tada:

I have tried to cater for as many use cases that I can think of.
However, they are naturally tailored to to my own workflow and I could
be missing many others.

Because of this if there is a specific use case that does not work as
you would expect or if you have any suggestions to how the plugin should
behave, feel free to `open an
issue <https://github.com/MichaelAquilina/zsh-auto-notify/issues/new>`__

Running Tests
-------------

Install `zunit <https://zunit.xyz/>`__. Run ``zunit`` in the root
directory of the repo.

::

    $ zunit
    Launching ZUnit
    ZUnit: 0.8.2
    ZSH:   zsh 5.3.1 (x86_64-suse-linux-gnu)

    ✔ version exported
    ✔ hook functions are loaded by default
    ✔ enable/disable auto-notify
    ✔ auto-notify-send does not send notification for short task
    ✔ auto-notify-send does not send notification for ignored commands

NOTE: It is required that you use a minimum zunit version of 0.8.2
