testomatic is a simple CLI tool which:

1. Watch test files thanks to a configurable regular expression which match the filenames
2. Execute a command of your choice when a file watched is saved (go test for example)
3. Display a desktop notification indicating if your command succeeded or failed (see screenshots)
4. You can continue coding without switching windows / terminal to see if your test passed!

Installation

You can find the releases of testomatic here: Github releases

Here an easy way to install testomatic on Linux using your favorite shell:

cd /usr/local/bin && sudo curl -LO https://github.com/Phantas0s/testomatic/releases/download/v0.2.1/testomatic && sudo chmod 755 testomatic && cd -

You can now normally run testomatic from anywhere.

Configuration file

testomatic need a valid yaml configuration file. The best is to create a .testomatic file at the root of your project.

You can as well use a different name for the configuration file: in that case you can run testomatic --config my-config-name.yml

The configuration file can change the behavior of testomatic drastically to adapt it to your needs. Here the details:

watch:
  root: src/Tests
  regex: "Test.php"
  ignore:
    - vendor
    - cache
  ignore_hidden: true
command:
  bin: docker-compose
  scope: current
  ignore_path: true
  abs: false
  options:
    - exec
    - "-T"
    - 'php'
    - bin/phpunit
notification:
  disable: false
  img_failure: /home/superUser/.autotest/images/failure.png
  img_success: /home/superUser/.autotest/images/success.png
  regex_success: ok
  regex_failure: fail
  display_result: true

watch

attribute	value	value type	required	default
root	The root folder where your tests are. testomatic will watch into this folder and every subfolders recursively.	string	yes	empty
regex	Every filename matching this regex will be watched.	string	yes	empty
ignore	Files or folders you want to ignore (vendor for example)	array	no	empty
ignore_hidden	Any files or folders beginning by a point . won't be watched	boolean	no	false

command

attribute	value	value type	required	default
bin	Path of the command line interface to execute	string	yes	empty
scope	The command use the path of the saved file(current), the directory of the saved file (dir) or simply the root folder defined in watch (all) as argument	string - current, dir, all	yes	empty
abs	Use the saved file absolute path instead of the relative one	boolean	no	false
ignore_path	Doesn't use the path of the file saved as command line option	boolean	yes	false
options	Options to pass to the command line interface	array	no	empty

notification

attribute	value	value type	required	default
disable	Disable the desktop notifications	boolean	no	false
img_failure	Path of image displayed when test is failing	string	no	empty
img_success	Path of the image displayed when test is a success	string	no	empty
regex_success	If the result of the command match this regex, the test is a success	string	yes	empty
regex_failure	If the result of the command match this regex, the test is a failure	string	yes	empty
display_result	Display the return of the command in the notification box	boolean	no	false

Examples

You will find in the folder examples tested configuration files for running PHPUnit and go test. I included in the php examples how to run tests in docker using docker-compose with or without notifications.

Screenshots

The notification is displayed with a text and image of your choice when saving the test

Too many go here

The result of the test is displayed in a terminal

• I only tested testomatic on Linux (Arch linux). It might not work on macOS or Windows.
• You can use testomatic to run Golang and PHPUnit tests automatically. The configuration should be flexible enough for you to use it with other test frameworks / languages.
