Valet status command

[welcoMattic]

It would be nice to have a valet status command, to know if valet is currently started or stopped.
With this kind of command we could call it from any menu-bar software like BitBar, and get a visual indication of valet status.

valet start also not really indicate nginx is really start. I got wrong config file setup in /Users/shiroamada/.valet/Nginx/mywebsite.dev, but valet start still show it successfully started. But actually my nginx is not started. I need to sudo nginx to check what's really goes wrong.

No, however, valet is more verbose about errors occurring when re/starting nginx.

Nowadays you can run: brew services list to get a status.

Closing; if this is re-suggested given the current state of things we can start a new discussion.

what if brew services list shows nothing is running (but valet is running and working) is there some sort of permission disconnect or something that is going on? I confirmed my foo.test site is running but nginx and PHP show as stopped

I think it would be really nice to have this command. brew services list doesn't explicitly say Valet, so we have to figure it out.

[mattstauffer]

I'm considering adding this command to v4.

Here's what I'm thinking.

Valet isn't ever actually "running" or "not running". But, it can have a boolean type status: it can be "configured correctly with all its services running" or "something is wrong, whether a service not running, a configuration error, or Valet not installed at all".

Would that be helpful?

If so, I'm imagining it would check:

• Is Valet installed
• Are all services (Nginx, Dnsmasq, etc.) running via Brew
• Are all configuration items non-erroring (e.g. check the Nginx config, manually check our local Valet config files, etc.)

If so, it would return a positive return code, together with some nice graphics showing success.

If not, it would return a negative return code, together with the same graphics showing errors.

Having a valet status sommand would be really nice, especially if the output is less confusing than brew services list.
(Here's what this looks like here; Valet is running without any problems even before valet start, doing the full composer global update > valet install doesn't change anything to these outputs)
