ec-monitor: Error central montitoring

Typescript package that will montitor the log files generated by ec-bash and attempt to detect any error messages that appear there. Currently detecting errors in Python, Node, Bash, and Git. An error message is something like Python's NameError: name 'q' is not defined.

When an error message is found:

1. The error is sent to the ec server. (Currently very rudimentary.)
2. An javascript event is emitted. When used with the vscode-extension, this event is used to trigger display of error information in VS Code.

Installing

Install with npm install -g error-central. It will ask you about your shell, and confirm changes to your startup script.

Example:

$ npm install -g error-central

> error-central@0.0.22 uninstall /usr/local/lib/node_modules/error-central
> node ./out/uninstall.js

/usr/local/bin/error-central -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/error-central/bin/error-central.js

> error-central@0.0.22 postinstall /usr/local/lib/node_modules/error-central
> node ./out/postinstall.js

🐛 Thank you for installing Error Central! 🐛

To capture errors, we need to install a script that runs each session.
? Which shell do you use ? bash
? We will add error-central monitoring to ~/.bash_profile, is it ok ? Yes
=> Added error-central source line in "~/.bash_profile" file

      => Error-central source lines added to "~/.bash_profile" for ec package.

      To enable in this session, run:
          source ~/.bash_profile

+ error-central@0.0.22
updated 1 package in 30.496s
$

It will be started by default in new sessions. Activate it in the current session like this:

$source ~/.bash_profile

🐛 ec: Saving stderr to file: "~/.ec/sessions/1033.txt"
$

Then you can test it like this:

$ python
Python 3.7.4 (default, Jul  9 2019, 18:13:23)
[Clang 10.0.1 (clang-1001.0.46.4)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> x=4+q
>>> Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'q' is not defined
>>>

See if your error appears on the debugging page here: http://wanderingstan.com/ec/ec-dump.php

Development

We reccomend using the VS Code workspace ./ec.code-workspace which allows you to work on all EC components simultaneously.
