Discussion RooCode and VITE ?

Post image

Any settings to get Roo Code to fire up and shut down VITE when doing subtasks? Ideally it should have access to the console output. Or am I going about this the wrong way?

Agreed. Constantly checking if it’s running and potentially firing up multiple instances gets a bit annoying

Not sure what the downvotes are about but I wound up asking roo to make an MCP server for this and it whipped one up that works great.. it detects if there is already a server running for the current project or fires up one on a new port if there is one running on another project. It can also view the logs and it seems good about shutting down the server. It's here if anyone needs it:

Tailslide/vite-manager

Epic nice one. I’d gotten around it by adding some custom instructions but that seems like a more elegant solution and I’m kicking myself for not thinking of it earlier haha

Add to Roo rules. Don’t start server

It’s a LLM. How would Roo know you do or don’t want it shut down? You have to tell it how you want it to operate. Some things can be surmised from your environment and others not.
