"--plugin kaocha.plugin/profiling" does not run when "--watch" is used

[realgenekim]

I'm not sure if this is a documentation issue or a functionality issue:

Currently, --plugin kaocha.plugin/profiling does not work when using --watch — I was expecting this to work, hoping that I could find all the tests that need to be flagged with meta of :integration. Instead, profiling information never appeared. To make it run, I had to remove --watch from command line.

PS: thank you @plexus and everyone else who has made kaocha so amazing — I use it in all my projects that I care about. For me, the --watch with notifier functionality on macOS makes for a nearly sublime development experience, in combination of the REPL.

Hi Gene! Thanks for the kind words!

I think we probably want these to work together. Looking at the code, we don't appear to be running the post-summary hook that the profiling plugin uses to print the summary.

It seems I chose fairly early on to run it from the specific entry point (kaocha.runner), rather than in the shared logic in kaocha.api

    Run post-summary from kaocha.runner, not from kaocha.api
    
    Post-summary is mostly intended for side effects, outputing extra stuff at the
    end of the run (like profiling results). It makes more sense not to run it when
    using the API, this also prevents noise in EDN outputs like --print-result.

I think this makes sense, letting specific entry points opt-in to this behavior. I think it would make sense to let kaocha.repl also handle post-summary. I'll make an issue for that.

Moving this to "Out of Scope" on the project board since we are already tracking #335

Profiling now runs from --watch, released in:

[lambdaisland/kaocha "1.83.1316"]
{lambdaisland/kaocha {:mvn/version "1.83.1316"}}```
