What changed

  • Forward stdout and stderr while container commands are running.
  • Keep the completed command result unchanged.

Why

Users can see command progress as it happens.

Checks

  • Live Docker streaming test passed
  • Clippy passed

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Command execution now streams standard output and error messages as they become available, rather than waiting for the command to finish.
    • Streaming is supported across shell commands and file read/write operations, including retries and setup steps.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Long-running commands now provide earlier output visibility while still returning the complete combined result when finished.
    • Output from commands is delivered more reliably while execution is in progress.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Docker executor now streams command output through CommandOutputSink. It forwards chunks as they arrive, preserves combined command output, propagates sinks through file operations and retries, and tests early output delivery.

Changes

Command output streaming

Layer / File(s) Summary
Streaming execution path
Cargo.toml, swiftide-docker-executor/src/running_docker_executor.rs
The executor adds sink-aware dispatch for shell, read-file, and write-file commands. Shell output is sent to the sink as it arrives and remains in the combined result.
Streaming behavior validation
swiftide-docker-executor/src/tests.rs
Tests use a channel-based recorded sink. The streaming test verifies early output delivery and the final combined output.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

In `@swiftide-docker-executor/src/tests.rs`:
- Line 134: Replace the fixed 300 ms sleep in the output-streaming test with a
wait that races sink notification against command completion, and apply the
timeout to that combined wait. Preserve the existing assertion behavior while
allowing slow Docker or gRPC startup when output streaming eventually begins.

Review fix applied

Updated the streaming test so it waits for actual output or command completion under one timeout. The test helper now uses a channel instead of shared mutable state.

File: swiftide-docker-executor/src/tests.rs
Commit: c5294e3

Verified with the focused Docker test, Clippy, formatting, and a local CodeRabbit review.
