Re-run tests on file save? #246

Closed vck3000 closed 2 years ago

vck3000 commented 3 years ago

Hey guys,

Loving this library!

Coming from NodeJS's Jest testing framework, a feature I've sorely missed is auto-rerunning the tests on file save. I couldn't find any information in green's README, so I was wondering if this had been considered before. From what I've seen, I haven't found a Python testing framework that supports this feature!

I could try to write up a PR for it if this feature is approved :).

Edit: Currently I'm using entr to mimic this behaviour. I use find -name "*.py" | entr -c green -vv.

Hi, thanks for you kind words!

I am not planning on implementing a feature like this since, as you demonstrated, it's pretty straight forward to do externally. If you would like to write up a PR, I'd be happy to review it and accept it if it's straightforward. Note that it would have to work on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

I'm going to go ahead and close this issue in favor of continuing the conversation on your PR #249

Yeap, sorry. This has been on my mind and I have been wanting to do it. I'll get to this soon! Thank you.

No worries, there's no rush. 😄
