The next little tool window I want to talk about is the run window and we
0:03
don't even see it here at the bottom.
0:05
But if we hit run then there we go,
0:08
it's popped up here. So we're running our little wizard battle thing over here and
0:13
you've seen this a bunch already.
0:14
We've been running all the programs for many,
0:16
many chapters. Now, you can see when you do input,
0:19
when you do input in this part,
0:20
you know? Colorize, it is green here in this case we could run away
0:24
One thing you gotta do is make sure that your focus down there for this
0:27
to work. There's a couple of things that we haven't really talked about.
0:30
You can do word wrap in case text is really long,
0:34
you can tell it to make sure to scroll to the end and automatically stick.
0:37
So if you go up here,
0:39
notice that went away and there could be tons of output.
0:42
The scroll bar could be shooting by,
0:43
but if you wanted to stick to the end and keep up,
0:46
got to click that. Print it.
0:48
Yeah, I don't know. That's maybe in 1990s feature.
0:51
We can print it. You could clear obviously this will allow us to modify the
0:57
run configuration. It's just a shortcut of going up here and clicking edit configuration and
1:02
then clicking here, we'll rerun it.
1:04
Same as clicking that right there.
1:07
A few other things to point out that we haven't focused on.
1:09
If I hit run again, notice it stopped the program and restarted it right?
1:15
We had some output here, we might have looked around and if I had run
1:19
it starts over if maybe I'm doing multiple runs at the same time,
1:23
I'm doing processing or I want to have something run in the background and some other
1:26
option I'm going to choose at the same time.
1:29
We need to go over here and edit the configuration and say allow running in parallel
1:33
So this will happen if I had another program.
1:37
Let's see, Go Run the Podcast one.
1:40
Here we go and run this.
1:42
Notice now we have our two windows and we can rerun that one and interact with
1:46
this one. But if you want to have the same one,
1:48
run multiple times, let's go to the right configuration.
1:54
We gotta go over here and say allow run in parallel.
1:57
So then while this one is running now we can,
2:00
you know, start another one now we got 2D and this going in
2:03
two instances. So there's a lot of cool stuff.
2:05
We can see, you can now see there's like two in case you close this
2:08
window, you can see there's like two a little number 2 underneath those to tell
2:12
you how many of them are running,
2:13
You can say stop 1 or stop them all.
2:15
All right. So a lot of cool stuff that you can do with the Run configurations in the 'Run' window.
