Watch command about lab

[AdriVanHoudt]

you can run fsmonitor -s -p '+*.js' npm test and I'll do the trick for you, you can even put that in a npm command like npm run watch

This does not make sense for a test runner.

Mocha has this feature and it's great b/c I do not have to have a grunt task to watch the file. I can just call $ mocha my-test.js -w and it automatically watches the file for changes. 👍

This is a very very useful feature for anyone doing TDD. A lot better than cmd+s, alt+tab, up, enter... 👍

There are a hundred tools to do it, I'm using nodemon personally, but why not just build it in with a flag? Since most people are coming from the mocha world, matching their feature set isn't a bad objective.

Lab solves so many problems for you, and then just has this 1 random broken window where you have to solve it yourself. It'd be different and I would understand if the project philosophically aimed to be unopinionated, but that's not the type of project this is.

Why would you implement something that can already be done using tools that
specialize in solving this particular requirement? I personally prefer to
keep my choice of tool when I change my test runner ...

How about using fsmonitor?

[Marsup]

If you use gulp/grunt/... like all the kids these days, it also already does that for you.

please lock this, it was an off the cuff thought, and repo owners have already replied.

solution: can use any of the myriad task runners as @Marsup mentions.
