Extension Details

Current Functionality:
- Open Project in Terminal: Opens the workspace's root path up in an iTerm window
- Open Path in Terminal: Opens the currently focused document's path

Creates a new window per workspace. One tab kept for project and one is kept for opening paths (focused windows) from Nova.

Limitations:
Only works with iTerm2. Works using an iTerm Profile named 'Nova' with title set to 'Profile: Name'. Currently the extension uses the 'Nova' title to identify windows and tabs along with the project name which is why this setup is required. Obviously not ideal, but it works.

Some Development Notes

Basically works entirely with an AppleScript which is the best way I found to work with iTerm2.

Terminal.app seems more accessible from shell commands.

You can open a folder directly in iTerm with open $PATH -a iTerm but you can't set profiles, session names, or specify how to open it (in a new window, vs a tab in a specific window). That's why I'm using AppleScript.

Kept having issues running AppleScripts, then trying to read the output in the extension, so I just put all the logic into the script and run it from the extension.

Version 0.1.2

Fixed: opening paths with special characters, such as lib/routes/(marketing)/ where the parentheses previously would cause an issue, now these are properly escaped/quoted so that the shell command will stay happy.

Version 0.1.0
