Change macOS display arrangement through command line / applescript?

I have a 3 display setup at work with the following order (from left to right):




  • MB Pro Retina 15" / internal

  • Lenovo 23" / external

  • Lenovo 23" / external


macOS Version: 10.13.6



Most likely when I reboot, the order is gone and I have to reset it through System Preferences -> Display -> Arrangement



Is there a way to change the arrangement through command-line or applescript?






macos command-line applescript display

  • I believe this is possible to do with AppleScriptObjC/JXA, but as I only have the one display, I've no means of testing.

How to test boost logger output in unit testing?

Image
up vote 1 down vote favorite My application uses BOOST_LOG_TRIVIAL to log messages. I thought it's good to check in test (gtest) that correct messages are written there in given scenarios. Is there a way to somehow access what was written there after code was called? Or does it first have to be mocked in some way? I have googled a lot for this and haven't found any instructions, so either I am asking wrong questions or no one thinks it should be done. c++ logging boost googletest boost-log share | improve this question edited yesterday ...

Write to the output between two pipeline

Image
up vote 1 down vote favorite I'm trying to write to the output (echo) within two pipe to have a trace of what I'm doing but I have an error. Get-ChildItem $path -Recurse | Where-Object { $_.Name -match '.+?.log.(d{4})-(d{2})-(d{2})$' -and $_.LastWriteTime -lt $deleteDate } | Write-Output "deleting file" -PassThru | Remove-Item but I have this error : Write-Output : The input object cannot be bound to any parameters for the command either because the command does not take pipeline input or the input and its properties do not match any of the parameters that take pipeline input.
