Sublime Test Runner

Runs tests on save, with status bar summary and details on output panel. It should work with any console/terminal runnable test framework which produces TAP output.

Installation

The easiest way to install is via the Sublime Package Control plugin. Bring down your Command Palette (Command+Shift+P on OS X, Control+Shift+P on Linux/Windows), open "Package Control: Install Package" (in your Command Palette) and search for "Test Runner". That's it!

To install it manually without Git: Download the latest source from GitHub, copy the whole directory into the Packages directory and rename it to "Test Runner".

To install it manually with Git: Clone the repository in your Sublime Text 2 Packages directory:

git clone https://github.com/accerqueira/sublime-test-runner.git "Test Runner"

The "Packages" directory should be located at:

• OS X:

  ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 2/Packages/

• Linux:

  ~/.Sublime\ Text\ 2/Packages/
  or
  ~/.config/sublime-text-2/Packages/

• Windows:

  %APPDATA%/Sublime Text 2/Packages/

The plugin should be picked up automatically. If not, restart Sublime Text.

Usage

Test Runner will, by default, run make test REPORTER=tap whenever you save a file. You can also bring down the Command Palette and look for "Test Runner" available commands.

As an example, you could use the following rules for node.js Makefile (assuming you have mocha for testing and istanbul for test coverage):

test:
    @./node_modules/mocha/bin/_mocha -R $(REPORTER)

test-cov:
    @./node_modules/istanbul/lib/cli.js cover ./node_modules/mocha/bin/_mocha -- -R $(REPORTER)

.PHONY: test test-cov

For test result coloring, you can add something like this to your color scheme file:

<dict>
    <key>name</key>
    <string>Test PASS</string>
    <key>scope</key>
    <string>test.status.pass</string>
    <key>settings</key>
    <dict>
        <key>foreground</key>
        <string>#33FF33</string>
    </dict>
</dict>
<dict>
    <key>name</key>
    <string>Test FAIL</string>
    <key>scope</key>
    <string>test.status.fail</string>
    <key>settings</key>
    <dict>
        <key>foreground</key>
        <string>#FF3333</string>
    </dict>
</dict>
<dict>
    <key>name</key>
    <string>Test SKIP</string>
    <key>scope</key>
    <string>test.status.skip</string>
    <key>settings</key>
    <dict>
        <key>foreground</key>
        <string>#999999</string>
    </dict>
</dict>
<dict>
    <key>name</key>
    <string>Test TODO</string>
    <key>scope</key>
    <string>test.status.todo</string>
    <key>settings</key>
    <dict>
        <key>foreground</key>
        <string>#FFFF33</string>
    </dict>
</dict>
