Action is always loading when running a laravel process

The main goal is to run a laravel process that starts a local game server. However, after running the process (and while its running) the action is always "loading" as shown in the picture. I understand why this is happening, but I was wondering if there was a way to get around it? After clicking launch, it should start the process and stop loading. Here is my code so far

<?php

namespace App\Filament\Pages;

class extends Page
{
    protected function getHeaderActions(): array
    {
        return [
            Action::make('launchAction')
                ->color('success')
                ->label('Launch Server')
                ->after(function () {
                    // ...
                    try {
                        $process = Process::fromShellCommandline($command, $mcDir);
                        $process->setTimeout(null);

                        // Async process
                        $process->start();

                    } catch (Exception $e) {
                        Log::error('Failed to launch server: ' . $e->getMessage());
                        throw $e;
                    }
                }),
        ];
    }
}

<?php

namespace App\Filament\Pages;

class extends Page
{
    protected function getHeaderActions(): array
    {
        return [
            Action::make('launchAction')
                ->color('success')
                ->label('Launch Server')
                ->after(function () {
                    // ...
                    try {
                        $process = Process::fromShellCommandline($command, $mcDir);
                        $process->setTimeout(null);

                        // Async process
                        $process->start();

                    } catch (Exception $e) {
                        Log::error('Failed to launch server: ' . $e->getMessage());
                        throw $e;
                    }
                }),
        ];
    }
}

Solution:

I would look into jobs and listeners and how you can leverage them with reverb.

Why do you think this is happening?

MatthewOP•2mo ago

From what I understand, the ->action() creates a lifecycle And as long as the process is running, the lifecycle is active So until it ends, it will "load"

awcodes•2mo ago

So you’re starting a long running process and expecting livewire to return a signal that the process is done even though it isn’t.? Sounds like a use case for reverb and / or websockets to me instead of livewire.

MatthewOP•2mo ago

Hmm, but filament uses livewire anyways. How can I avoid livewire? If the server starts correctly with no errors, then is should stop loading.
