Have the possibility to execute commands on the server from the debugbar about php-debugbar

[barryvdh]

Sounds cool :) Will try and test this tonight.

[maximebf]

I pushed some bug fix and refactoring. Everything should work now.
I renamed ServerHandler\Server to ServerHandler\FrontControler

[barryvdh]

Okay will try in a bit. I hope you aren't going to release this also as 1.9.x, are you? Because it will probably break my integration ;)

[maximebf]

haha no worries. will do a 2.0 with that. I'm also working on other things which will be pushed with the new version. what do you think of a "console" widget? ;)

[barryvdh]

Would be nice :) Do you want to provide a simple console to start a new request, or hook into the current request (which would be more difficult)
Laravel has a command line tool to start Boris repl, with the framework fully loaded, would be cool if we could do that From the debugbar.
I did actually have this feature requested: barryvdh/laravel-debugbar#66
This might be interesting to follow some of the problems/examples: filp/whoops#42 (and the linked issue from symfony etc)

[maximebf]

btw I re-created the dev branch. it will become the 2.0

[barryvdh]

Ok.
Was there any reason why you removed the resources vendors from gitignore? Now the resources are around 10MB..

[maximebf]

it was a weird situation. the folder was already versionned (if not you would have had to run "bower install" everywhere) but was ignored after. this means new versions of the scripts in vendor where ignored. The new size is due to an update to jquery and font-awesome which added all the source files.

I'm not in favor of ignoring this folder and having to run bower install. not enough people know/have installed bower. I'm open to other solutions however (we could only add the files we need)

[barryvdh]

How it was before, was that the folder was ignored, but the files that were need, were force pushed, right? So people didn't need Bower and only the files that were used, were in the Resources folder.
Don't know if that makes updating harder, but it was a lot smaller.
(And size doesn't really matter that much, but it seems a bit much)

[maximebf]

I'll do something to fix that

[barryvdh]

Your serverHandler was pretty easy to change btw :) barryvdh/laravel-debugbar@35d1769
Seems to work still fine :)
Want anything specific tested, or more a general question what would be possible?

[maximebf]

great to hear that! Looking at your code I wonder how the request data are being passed as the first argument of handle() is null?

[barryvdh]

First lines of handle():

if ($request === null) {
    $request = $_REQUEST;
}

I was going to make it more Laravel/Symfony like with the request object etc, but figured this works just fine :)

[maximebf]

haha oups forgot that! great then

[barryvdh]

Okay starting to pick this up again. I like the way this was going (with clearing the cache etc as examples), but it's not really easy to merge the dev-branch now I think.

Should I just recreate a 2.0 branch and redo the changes manually? Or what do you think?

[maximebf]

you think rebasing would be too difficult? I think it may be worth a try.
I have nothing against a 2.0 branch anyway

[barryvdh]

Not sure, it's a lot behind now. But will give it a try if I get the chance soon.

[maximebf]

I rebased dev and pushed it under the branch dev_rebased
Haven't got time to test it though
