v4.0.0 - Config-less Operation

💥 BREAKING CHANGE 💥

This version introduces the option of "config-less" operation. All configuration settings can now be supplied on the command-line instead. To avoid confusion and clashes with mix test's command-line options, it is now necessary to separate mix test.interactive's options from mix test's options with -- separator.

For example, to use the new --clear option as well as mix test's --stale option, it is necessary to use:

mix test.interactive --clear -- --stale

This affects two of the command-line options that were available in previous versions:

• mix test.interactive's --no-watch flag. Previously, you could run (for example) mix test.interactive --no-watch --stale. This will no longer work. You must now use mix test.interactive --no-watch -- --stale instead.
• mix test's --exclude option. mix test.interactive now has its own --exclude option. Previously, you could run (for example) mix test.interactive --exclude some_test_tag and that argument would be forwarded on to mix test. Now you must use mix test.interactive -- --exclude some_test_tag instead.

If you don't use either of these two options, everything should work as before.

To upgrade to this version, you'll need to update any mix aliases or other scripts you may have defined for mix test.interactive. In addition, you and everyone who works in your codebase will need to update any shell aliases they have defined.

Added

• This version introduces the option of "config-less" operation. All configuration settings can now be supplied on the command-line instead. See the README or run mix help test.interactive for more information. Also, see the 💥 BREAKING CHANGE 💥 section above. (#108)

Changed

• The Running tests... message that mix test.interactive displays before each test run is displayed in color. This makes it easier to find the most recent test run when scrolling back in your shell. (#109)
