Description

Small, independent CLI/TUI fixes found in a code review. There is one commit per fix, so they can be reviewed (or dropped) one at a time. CodeRabbit's four review comments are addressed in follow-up commits (b6e0dfa, ab819b1, 02b0e0f, 263bad2).

  1. simutil ios … off macOS crashed (f9cd75a). Off macOS, IosCommand registers no subcommands, so args treats it as a leaf without run() and throws UnimplementedError (stack trace, exit 255). It now raises a UsageException ("iOS simulators and devices need macOS.", exit 64).
  2. Running emulators could not be found by their AVD name (1eb3fad). A running emulator's id is its serial, so simutil launch Pixel_X followed by simutil shutdown Pixel_X failed with "Device not found". resolveDevice now also matches an Android emulator by name. The catalog example simutil start emulator-5554 -a could never work (it ran emulator @emulator-5554); it is now simutil start <avd> -a.
  3. plugin list --json printed nothing when no plugin matched (7d145ba). The empty check ran before the JSON branch, so stdout stayed empty and JSON consumers failed. It now prints {"count": 0, "plugins": []}.
  4. Ctrl+C / SIGTERM did not quit while the Logcat dialog was open (4efd3dc). Its keyC case ignored modifiers. nocterm routes SIGINT/SIGTERM as a synthetic Ctrl+C and only shuts down when no component handles it, so Ctrl+C just cleared the log, and on Linux the supervisor waited forever after a forwarded SIGTERM. The dialog now leaves Ctrl combinations to the app.
  5. The Logcat dialog never showed adb errors (9e4d2da). It read only stdout and ignored the exit, so a wrong serial or a disconnected device left "Waiting for logs…" forever. It now shows stderr lines as [adb] … and [simutil] adb logcat exited (<code>).
  6. Wrapped changelog bullets were cut off in "What's new" (d47202c). generate_changelog.dart only kept the - line of a bullet. It now joins indented continuation lines; this restores three truncated 1.1.0 entries in changelog_entries.dart.
  7. state.json was written to the current directory on Windows (a49c8e3). resolveStatePath only read HOME, which Windows shells usually lack. The update check therefore created .simutil/state.json in whatever folder the CLI ran in, and "What's new" came back in each new folder. It now falls back to USERPROFILE, like settings_file.dart (simutil_shared 1.1.0 is unreleased, so the entry goes there).
  8. The TUI did not start on Linux after dart pub global activate (9b91546). The supervisor only re-ran the VM for .dart scripts. Under pub global run, Platform.script is a .snapshot, so it started /proc/self/exe (the VM) with no arguments, and the child only printed Dart's help. It now re-runs the VM with the script unless the program is a compiled (AOT) executable, detected by dart.vm.product; comparing paths broke for AOT binaries started via a symlink or from PATH (review follow-up, b6e0dfa).

Verified

  • dart analyze --fatal-infos reports no issues; melos run test is green (simutil: 40, simutil_shared: 43). In app, flutter analyze is clean and flutter test passes 117.
  • New tests:
    • ios off macOS (via an isMacOS seam);
    • running emulator by AVD name;
    • the Logcat dialog with a fake adb: Ctrl+C is not handled while c clears the log, and stderr plus the exit are shown. Both tests fail without their fix;
    • wrapped changelog bullets;
    • resolveStatePath with HOME / USERPROFILE;
    • tuiChildCommand for .dart, snapshot and AOT.
  • Manual:
    • simutil shutdown Pixel_10a on a running emulator → shut down, exit 0;
    • simutil plugin list --json -d <udid> → {"count": 0, "plugins": []};
    • Linux (dart:stable container): the child command starts correctly, with no extra arguments, for dart run, dart <script>, an AOT executable run directly, via a symlink and from PATH, and dart pub global activate (where Platform.script is …/supv.dart-3.13.7.snapshot).

tui_supervisor.dart is also touched by #84, in a different function, so the two should merge cleanly. The CHANGELOG.md lines conflict trivially with the other open PRs.

Suggested labels: fixbug, cli.

Walkthrough

The changes update CLI device resolution and command output, Logcat diagnostics and key handling, TUI child startup, state-path resolution, and changelog parsing and text. Tests cover the updated behaviors.

Changes: CLI behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Android emulator resolution
packages/simutil/lib/src/cli/cli_device_services.dart, packages/simutil/lib/src/cli/cli_catalog.dart, packages/simutil/test/cli/cli_device_services_test.dart
Device resolution checks exact IDs first, then matches Android simulators by AVD name. The launch example uses an <avd> placeholder. Tests cover lookup rules, OS hints, and physical-device name handling.
iOS platform command
packages/simutil/lib/src/cli/commands/platform_commands.dart, packages/simutil/test/cli/platform_commands_test.dart
The iOS command registers subcommands on macOS. Off macOS, running the command throws a UsageException. A test checks the error message.
Empty plugin JSON output
packages/simutil/lib/src/cli/commands/plugin_command.dart
JSON mode serializes an empty plugin list. Non-JSON mode still warns that no plugins were found and returns 0.

TUI behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Logcat output and key handling
packages/simutil/lib/src/tui/dialogs/logcat/logcat_dialog.dart, packages/simutil/test/tui/dialogs/logcat_dialog_test.dart
The dialog displays nonblank adb stderr lines and the process exit code. It keeps diagnostic lines visible during filtering, cancels the stderr subscription on disposal, and does not handle Ctrl-modified events through log shortcuts. Tests cover Ctrl+C, clearing, adb errors, and exit status.
TUI child startup
packages/simutil/lib/src/tui/terminal/tui_supervisor.dart, packages/simutil/test/tui/terminal/tui_child_command_test.dart
The supervisor uses tuiChildCommand to choose the child command and arguments. Tests cover Dart scripts, global-run snapshots, and compiled executables.

State path resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Home-directory fallback
packages/simutil_shared/lib/src/app_state.dart, packages/simutil_shared/test/app_state_test.dart, packages/simutil_shared/CHANGELOG.md
resolveStatePath checks HOME, then USERPROFILE, and then .. Tests cover HOME and USERPROFILE. The changelog records the fallback and optional environment parameter.

Changelog updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Wrapped changelog bullets
packages/simutil/tool/generate_changelog.dart, packages/simutil/test/tool/generate_changelog_test.dart
The parser appends indented continuation lines to the current bullet. A test checks that wrapped text remains in one item and later bullets remain separate.
Release changelog text
packages/simutil/CHANGELOG.md, packages/simutil_shared/lib/src/changelog_entries.dart
The simutil Unreleased section lists eight fixes. Shared changelog entries update descriptions of Android version display, pairing, and device-list refresh.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

A rabbit checks the AVD name,
Then watches Logcat print its frame.
Ctrl+C leaves the log in sight,
While state paths find their home right.
Wrapped bullets join and settle tight,
The bunny hops into the night.

Minor · Reject launch requests for running Android emulators. · cli_device_services.dart:77-94

packages/simutil/lib/src/cli/cli_device_services.dart:77-94
Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Reject launch requests for running Android emulators.

When an AVD is resolved by name while running, the CLI passes its serial as the AVD name. If no AVD has that serial as its name, the emulator can reject the command, but the CLI still reports success. This also makes --cold appear successful without a cold boot.

Reject the request rather than silently skipping it, so startup options are not ignored. Update the launch routing tests to use a shut-down emulator.

Minor · Handle Ctrl+C in LogcatDialog before returning control keys. · logcat_dialog.dart:209-211

packages/simutil/lib/src/tui/dialogs/logcat/logcat_dialog.dart:209-211
Minor · Stability & Availability · Quick win

Handle Ctrl+C in LogcatDialog before returning control keys.

A Kitty-protocol terminal can deliver Ctrl+C as a keyboard event instead of SIGINT. The overlay consumes the dispatch boundary because Nocterm routes only the top overlay child. Returning false therefore does not reach _handleGlobalKey, and ordinary keyboard events do not trigger Nocterm's default shutdown.

Suggested fix

  bool _handleKeyEvent(KeyboardEvent event) {
+   if (event.logicalKey == LogicalKey.keyC && event.isControlPressed) {
+     shutdownApp();
+     return true;
+   }
+
    // Ctrl combinations belong to the app: nocterm also sends SIGINT and
    // SIGTERM as Ctrl+C and only quits when nobody handles it.
    if (_filterMode || event.isControlPressed) return false;
