Monitor TFE Application Logs

You are monitoring the TFE (Terminal File Explorer) application for errors, panics, and issues.

Your Task

Use Desktop Commander MCP tools to:

1. Check monitoring method

   • First, ask if the user is running TFE in a tmux session
   • If yes, ask for the tmux session name (e.g., "tfe-dev")
   • If no tmux, check for background processes or offer to start one

2. TMUX Monitoring (Preferred Method)

   • If monitoring a tmux session:
     • Use execute_command to run: tmux list-sessions to verify it exists
     • Use tmux capture-pane -t SESSION_NAME -p -S -100 to capture last 100 lines
     • Parse the output for errors, panics, TUI rendering issues
     • Can see the actual Bubbletea visual output!
     • Periodically capture new output (every 10-15 seconds when actively monitoring)
     • Use tmux capture-pane -t SESSION_NAME:WINDOW.PANE -p -S -50 for specific panes

   Tmux Commands Reference:

   # List sessions
   tmux list-sessions
   
   # List windows in a session
   tmux list-windows -t SESSION_NAME
   
   # List panes in a window
   tmux list-panes -t SESSION_NAME:WINDOW
   
   # Capture pane output (last N lines)
   tmux capture-pane -t SESSION_NAME -p -S -N
   
   # Capture entire scrollback
   tmux capture-pane -t SESSION_NAME -p -S -
   

3. Background Process Monitoring (Alternative)

   • Use list_processes to find TFE process
   • If not running, offer to start it with start_process("./tfe")
   • If running as a background process, use read_process_output to check output
   • Look for any log files in /tmp/tfe-*.log or similar

4. Monitor for errors, panics, warnings

5. Watch for these issues:

   • Go panic messages
   • Runtime errors
   • Stack traces
   • Bubbletea rendering issues
   • File operation errors
   • Segmentation faults
   • Build failures

6. Continuous monitoring:

   • Check output periodically (you can read latest lines with negative offset)
   • Alert me immediately if you detect any issues
   • Provide the full error message and stack trace
   • Identify which source file and line caused the issue
   • Suggest potential fixes based on the error
