Ddev: Documentation: Sequel Pro integration?

Created on 2 Apr 2018  路  10Comments  路  Source: drud/ddev

What happened (or feature request):

Mike Anello's blog post mentions "ddev sequelpro" command.

I assume for this to work, someone has to have https://www.sequelpro.com/ installed on their Mac, and that it doesn't come with DDEV, correct?

So this command launches the application. Is there anything else?

What you expected to happen:

Please try it out (macOS, if you use that). Install the free sequelpro and use ddev sequelpro. Docs: ddev sequelpro -h

@rfay ok! i should have done that first!

Most people don't read docs very carefully. Probably we need to consider the built-in help our primary docs source and spend some more time on that. Even though lots of people absolutely love the sequelpro feature, we don't really mention it that much (at all?) in docs.

It's like the In-N-Out secret menu! We don't promote it, but it's awesome when you discover it is there!

Leaving open for a documentation PR, most likely adding it here https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/users/developer-tools/.

One piece of magic here: If people don't have sequelpro (or they're not on a mac) it doesn't show up in the menu. So a great place where docs might help people who might like the free SequelPro app with this.Note, however, that phpmyadmin is available to everybody, and maybe even more familiar.

I assume all the commands should be represented in the documentation, is that what you mean, @rfay?

If someone doesn't have sequelpro it does show up on help -h

And if someone runs it without sequelpro:

Tomorrow, I will prepare a PR to add a mention of this command.

Thanks!

You suffer from the same ambitious as the rest of us :) Send a PR whenever!

@rickmanelius This delay isn't awesome. My seriously outdated OS and related software and lots of errors meant I kept putting it off. Finally, I think I chased all of the errors I was having, and DDEV is working again.

I think this is done! it's merged!
