te - universal test runner

Well.. soon to be universal test runner. The vision is to build a generic command line interface for running tests. Because no one uses a single language anymore. Supports rspec and minitest.

Usage

Te is designed to be used with a text editor:

Editor support

• vim
• atom
• emacs

CLI usage (if you wanted to bring it to another text editor)

All tests:

te run

Single Test:

te run spec.rb

Single line:

te run spec.rb:12

Run last:

te run-last

Async usage

From the root directory of your project, open two terminals (or splits/panes/whatever) and in one run:

te listen

In the other terminal run your tests!

te run spec.rb

Installation

os x

brew tap jetaggart/te
brew install jetaggart/te/te

Other platforms

Check out this repository, run cabal install, copy the te executable into your executable path of choice.

Vision

Eventually, running tests for multiple langauges and frameworks will be support. For example, to run rspec tests, you run:

te run spec/some_test_spec.rb
te run spec/some_test_spec.rb:123

And to run haskell tests you run:

te run tests/MainSpec.hs
te run tests/MainSpec.hs:123

Right now it only runs rspec. Next languages/frameworks to be support:

• haskell hspec
• go ginkgo

Inspiration

The inconsistency of testing tools, inconsistency of plugins that run testing tools, the consistency of IDE test running (intellij), async test running being highly couple to applications, and Gary Bernhardt's destroy all software screencast #87: RUNNING TESTS ASYNCHRONOUSLY
