Adding "splash" screen [feature]

[giliredbaron]

Can be nice to have the ability to put some text in the empty output place before running the actual script.
This can be like a splash screen for every task.
I find it useful because it can show the current state of service/task before running the script server.

Hi @giliredbaron, thanks for the idea! Do you have a proposal what image/text could be there?

[giliredbaron]

One option is a script output.
Second is to read it from a file.

The purpose of this was born when we run some script that makes some change.
Before we run this script (from our script server) we have a look at some other screen (web page, monitoring stuff) and take action according to it.
My thought was, to use the same tool, script server, to both, create a change, and watch the state.

Hi Gili, thanks for the explanation. So you mean it could be some pre-script, which is executed each time, when a user opens a page. Is it correct?

[giliredbaron]

Correct...! :)

hi @bugy / @giliredbaron , how can we implement this pre-script ?
can you please point me to the documentation if it's documented, or else can you please let me know here?

Hi Lokesh, I don't have development documentation. If you want to implement it, start with model/server_conf.py, it should be extended with a new field Also it should be added in external_model.py Then, on the UI, web-src/src/main-app/components/scripts/script-view.vue Should be able to setLog not only from executor, but also from the script config Lokesh Khandelwal ***@***.***> schrieb am Mi., 9.

@lokeshkh92 @giliredbaron @MNeill73
Do you think that for your use cases, generating dynamic description (above parameters section) would be enough?
Or do you need almost the full screen?

[MNeill73]

In theory this would work.

In my head, I'm pondering having one of my report scripts tee the output into a defined static file whenever it runs, so that current status report would be shown as the first thing when a user logs in to "do things" with the environment management system running inside this instance of script-server.

The script isn't super intensive, so either one of "running a script", or "rendering a file contents", would work for my use case. Said contents would be HTML, though, so I'd either need the main window contents to accept HTML, or I'd need to preprocess the HTML table through lynx when I save it.
