If you want to record and playback actual terminal activity instead of writing a script that’s somewhat more likely to become out of date.
- naikrovek 4y agoi think you’ve got it backwards. recordings go out of date. vhs forces you to keep the script up to date, if you rerun it periodically. asciinema always plays, even after it is wrong. also, for some reason which is completely lost to me, most people seem to link asciinema recordings to the asciinema website, meaning you can’t watch them offline. Hard deal-breaker for me.
- jagged-chisel 4y agovhs forces nothing. Seems to me direct interaction with the tool that changed is far less trouble than editing a script in an attempt to match the I/O involved with a command.
- naikrovek 4y agoi forgot to mention that i was thinking of the vhs tool being used in a ci/cd pipeline, where it can be automated. a broken vhs script will be obvious to any viewer of the resulting movie. asciinema doesn’t let you do this, to my knowledge; you have to manually update the movie if you want to update the movie. editing the script which generates the movie is reproduceable and defining another thing in code, which can be checked in and reviewed. manual steps can take a hike; i’m getting things done via automation, here. computers work for me, not the other way around.
