A nose watcher for python

Testwatch

A script that watches files and re-runs tests when files have changed.

Installation

For now install from git with the following:

pip install -e git+git://github.com/cezar-berea/testwatch.git@master

Running

testwatch --command py.test tests

====================

TODO

Must have

• use pyinotify to monitor files; no polling
• file changes events should be throttled
• simple invocation: testwatch --command <test runner invocation>
• decent feedback and output messages

Nice to have

• inclusion/exclusion of files to watch
• flexible configuration
• stop and restart tests if a file changes while tests ar running
• keyboard shortcuts for manualy restarting tests
