runProject

codebolt.project.runProject(): void
Initiates the execution of the current project by sending a run command to the project management system. This function triggers project execution but does not wait for completion or return execution results.

Response Structure

This method does not return a response. It is a void function that sends a "runProject" command to the project management system and returns immediately without waiting for execution results.

Examples

// Example 1: Basic project execution
codebolt.project.runProject();
console.log('✅ Project run command sent');

// Example 2: Project execution with status logging
console.log('🚀 Starting project execution...');
codebolt.project.runProject();
console.log('📤 Run command dispatched to project system');

// Example 3: Project execution in a workflow
const executeProject = () => {
console.log('Preparing to run project...');

// Send the run command
codebolt.project.runProject();

console.log('Project execution initiated');
console.log('Monitor terminal or logs for execution progress');
};

// Example 4: Project execution with error handling
const safeProjectRun = () => {
try {
console.log('Initiating project run...');
codebolt.project.runProject();
console.log('✅ Run command sent successfully');
} catch (error) {
console.error('❌ Error sending run command:', error);
}
};

// Example 5: Project execution with validation
const runProjectWithValidation = async () => {
// Validate project is available
const projectPath = await codebolt.project.getProjectPath();

if (!projectPath.success || !projectPath.path) {
console.error('❌ Cannot run project: No project is currently open');
return;
}

console.log(`🚀 Running project: ${projectPath.projectName}`);
console.log(`📁 Project path: ${projectPath.path}`);

codebolt.project.runProject();

console.log('✅ Project run command sent');
console.log('💡 Check terminal output for execution progress');
};

// Example 6: Project execution with monitoring setup
const runProjectWithMonitoring = async () => {
console.log('Setting up project execution monitoring...');

// Get project information
const projectInfo = await codebolt.project.getProjectPath();

if (projectInfo.success) {
console.log(`Project: ${projectInfo.projectName}`);
console.log(`Path: ${projectInfo.path}`);
}

// Send run command
codebolt.project.runProject();

console.log('🔄 Project execution started');
console.log('📊 Monitor execution through:');
console.log(' - Terminal output');
console.log(' - Project logs');
console.log(' - System notifications');
};

// Example 7: Batch project operations
const projectWorkflow = async () => {
console.log('🔄 Starting project workflow...');

// Step 1: Validate project
const projectPath = await codebolt.project.getProjectPath();
if (!projectPath.success) {
throw new Error('No project available');
}

// Step 2: Get project settings
const settings = await codebolt.project.getProjectSettings();
console.log('📋 Project settings loaded');

// Step 3: Run project
console.log('🚀 Executing project...');
codebolt.project.runProject();

console.log('✅ Workflow completed - project is running');
};

// Example 8: Project execution with user feedback
const runProjectWithFeedback = async () => {
console.log('🎯 Preparing project execution...');

try {
// Get project details for user feedback
const [projectPath, projectSettings] = await Promise.all([
codebolt.project.getProjectPath(),
codebolt.project.getProjectSettings()
]);

if (projectPath.success && projectPath.projectName) {
console.log(`📂 Project: ${projectPath.projectName}`);
console.log(`📍 Location: ${projectPath.path}`);
}

if (projectSettings.success && projectSettings.projectSettings) {
console.log(`👤 User: ${projectSettings.projectSettings.user_username}`);
console.log(`🏢 Workspace: ${projectSettings.projectSettings.workspace_name}`);
}

console.log('🚀 Launching project...');
codebolt.project.runProject();

console.log('✅ Project execution command sent successfully!');
console.log('💡 Tip: Check your terminal for build output and logs');

} catch (error) {
console.error('❌ Error during project execution setup:', error);
}
};

### Common Use Cases

1. **Development Workflow**: Start project execution as part of development workflow
2. **Build Automation**: Trigger project builds and compilation processes
3. **Testing Pipeline**: Initiate project testing and validation
4. **Deployment Process**: Start deployment or packaging processes
5. **Development Server**: Launch development servers or watch modes
6. **CI/CD Integration**: Trigger continuous integration processes
7. **Project Validation**: Execute project to validate functionality

### Notes

- **No Return Value**: This function returns `void` and does not provide execution results
- **Asynchronous Execution**: The actual project execution happens asynchronously after the command is sent
- **Monitoring Required**: Use terminal output, logs, or other monitoring tools to track execution progress
- **Project Context**: Ensure a project is open and properly configured before calling this method
- **Error Handling**: The function itself rarely throws errors, but project execution may fail
- **Execution Environment**: The project runs in the context of the current workspace and settings
- **Resource Management**: Be aware that running projects may consume system resources
- **Multiple Executions**: Calling this method multiple times may start multiple project instances
