Inspect local and cloud services

Py Editor for Mac · Developer ID 27.0.2 (32) · reviewed with Helper 0.5.3

Services is the right-rail tool with the switches icon. It brings Docker and cloud-service information into the workspace. The inspected surface contains Docker, Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. It is not a claim that Py Editor has installed or configured each service for you.

Open Services and check readiness

  1. Check that Helper is connected.
  2. Click Services on the right rail.
  3. Select the service you want to inspect.
  4. Read its connection or setup status before acting on a resource.

The right-column layout places its service list above the selected service's details. It replaces the currently visible Assistant or Ollama content; it does not open a second right column.

Docker

The Docker tree groups Containers, Images, Networks and Volumes. On the review Mac the detail pane reported Docker CLI was not found. Install or start Docker Desktop. It offered Launch Docker, Check Again and Get Docker Desktop.

The zero counts in that disconnected state are not proof that the Mac has no containers or images. No Docker installation, startup, container action or resource deletion was performed during the review. Docker operations require another test environment before they can be described as verified procedures.

Fold a group or check the connection again

Control-click Containers in the Docker tree and choose Collapse to fold that group. Its menu then offers Expand; choosing it opens the group again. Both transitions were verified with the same zero resource count. These are navigation actions, not commands to stop or start containers.

The group menu also offers Refresh Docker. In the unavailable-state pane, Check Again repeated the connection check and returned the same missing-CLI message on this Mac. It did not install Docker or resolve the missing dependency. Repeated checks alone are not a substitute for completing the required setup.

Google Cloud

Selecting Google Cloud read an already configured account and project through the existing gcloud installation. The panel displayed Connected, a project selector, Refresh GCP services, resource groups and Sign Out. This was a read-only inspection; it did not establish a new sign-in or change the active cloud project.

The inspected account listed five Cloud Run services. Compute Engine and Cloud SQL requests returned API/permission errors. Read each resource group's error: the panel's Connected label does not establish that every service API is enabled or accessible, and a zero count beside an error does not prove an empty project.

A Cloud Run row's Service actions menu offered Link to This Project. That association was not applied. Project switching, linking, account changes and API enablement remain outside the tested workflow. Do not enable a cloud API or change permissions merely to reproduce a manual screenshot.

Account names, project identifiers and resource details can be private. No account-bearing Services screenshot is included in this draft.

Inspect the project selector without changing projects

Use this procedure only when an existing authorized account and project list are already available. It does not establish a new sign-in.

  1. In Google Cloud, click the current ACTIVE PROJECT value.
  2. Read the Select Google Cloud Project dialog's warning: a selection changes the active project in your local gcloud configuration.
  3. Use Search projects to narrow the list. A deliberately nonmatching query showed No matching projects in the reviewed session.
  4. Clear the query to restore the list.
  5. Click Cancel to leave the active project unchanged.

The same project remained displayed after Cancel. No project row was selected in this test. Do not treat choosing a row as a harmless display filter: the dialog describes a change to the local CLI configuration, not just to this panel. Actually switching projects remains unverified in this edition.

Understand the Sign Out confirmation

The reviewed Sign Out button opened Sign out of Google Cloud? before performing the action. Its message says the active gcloud account on this Mac will be revoked, while cloud resources are not changed. This is more than closing the Services panel and may affect other tools using that CLI account.

Choosing Cancel dismissed the confirmation; the active project and Sign Out control remained available. The review did not confirm Sign Out, revoke an account, or test signing back in. If you only want to leave this view, click the Services rail button to close the panel instead.

AWS and Azure

The reviewed AWS pane reported AWS CLI is not installed, with Check Again and Install AWS CLI. Azure similarly reported Azure CLI is not installed, with Check Again and Install Azure CLI. Both panes describe read-only resource inspection through Helper. Installation, authentication and resource listing were not completed for these providers.

The cloud section is labeled CLOUD — PRO in the inspected UI. This guide records that label and the observed Developer ID behavior; it does not infer pricing or availability for other distribution channels.

Keep service setup separate from project execution

Running a local Python script, having Helper connected and being signed into a cloud account are different states. Use Project Settings for Python execution configuration and the service's own status for its external connection. This documentation pass did not create, deploy or delete any cloud resource.
