===============

|CircleCI| |Version| |GPLv3|

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

* Installation_
* Configuration_
* `Temporarily Disabling Notifications`_
* Contributing_

Usage
-----

You dont 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


*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_NOTIFY+=("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

NOTE: The tests that run move your git configuration to a temporary
location during the test process so that your user configuration does
not interfere with tests. This will be restored at the end of each test
so there is no risk in losing your settings. If for some strange reason
zunit crashes or does not restore your git configuration automatically,
all you need to do is run ``mv ~/.gitconfig.bak ~/.gitconfig``
