This is a generic, language-agnostic autotesting tool. It can be told how to run tests in any project with a command line test launcher, what file types to watch for changes, and how it'll recognize a failed test in the terminal.
Once launched, clAutotest will re-run the tests in your project every time a file with the given extension changes. If tests fail, the terminal is colored red. Otherwise, expect a lovely bright green terminal window.
EXAMPLE: Succeding tests
EXAMPLE: Failing tests
The tool currently only works on the OS X Terminal, since it uses osascripts to color the terminal when indicating test status.
Install Leiningen if you don't have it already.
Install project dependencies in root dir of clAutotest by running 'lein deps'.
Tweak the CLAUTOTEST_HOME env variable in bin/clAutotest to match where you place clAutotest.
Put bin/clAutotest in your PATH.
Start autotesting from your project by launching clAutotest.
Some examples:
clAutotest "rake test" "rb" "Error%Exception" "/Users/thomas/RailsProject"
clAutotest "test.sh" "js" "Error%Exception" "."
- The first param is the command that launches your project tests.
- The second param is the file extension of your files (java, js, rb, etc).
- The third param is a %-separated list of strings that occur in the console during a failed test.
- The fourth and final param is the path of your project (or a specific subfolder which contains all the files you want watched).
clAutotest will monitor all files in that folder with the given file extensions, and relaunch testing once a file is updated.
