Testing Named Agents or any named Process

I was working on testing a named agent that was started by my application. In testing I had intermittent failures. I thought I would share how I was able to test the agent in a screencast.

I created a blog post out of this for anyone who would prefer a little writing. It isn’t a transcript of the screencast, but follows the code closely.

Thanks, @AstonJ, I’m not sure why. I also know that the audio and video don’t quite match up at one point. I’m just getting started using the editing software and it was tough. I’ll see if I can figure our how to make the audio come from both sides.

@AstonJ, well it looks like youtube doesn’t let you replace a video, and screen flow doesn’t let you set it to mono when exporting to youtube. I’m going to make another video file with fixed audio and just link to it. Thanks again for the info.

Thanks, again. I’m going to try and keep it up. Right now I have no client work so it is easy, but I still have to pay the bills.
