It would be nice if ploi could spin up the nightwatch agent if available in the project :)

I know you can do it manually but a shortcut button would be nice... like running the queue worker

Was already adding that indeed :)

👍🏻 was hoping that you were building it already 😎

when I clcik "crate nightwatch daemon", the page just greys out and nothing happens. Any ideas?

EDIT: a hard browser refresh+cache clear seems to have fixed it!

Hi, when the nightwatch daemon is created this way, it does not respect the PHP Site Settings. For example, my site was configured to use PHP8.3, but the server it was on has CLI version of PHP set to 8.2.

Instead of doing something like `php8.3 artisan nightwatch:agent` it just added `php artisan nightwatch:agent`, making the nightwatch agent fail silently without any notice.
