NAME

App::Prove::Watch - Run tests whenever changes occur.

VERSION

version 0.3

SYNOPSIS

$ provewatcher 

DESCRIPTION

Watches for changes in the current directroy tree and runs prove when there are changes.

ARGUMENTS

provwatcher takes all the arguments that prove takes with two additions:

--watch

Specifies what directories should be watched:

# just watch lib
$ provewatcher --watch lib

# watch lib and t
$ provewatcher --watch lib --watch t

This defaults to . if not given.

--run

Allows you to run something other than prove when changes happen. For example if you where using Dist::Zilla

$ provewatcher --run 'dzil test'

NOTIFICATIONS

If you install Log::Dispatch::DesktopNotification, desktop notifications will be sent whenever the overall state of the tests change (failing to passing or passing to failing).

Log::Dispatch::DesktopNotification is not listed as a prereq for this module, it will not be installed by default when you install this module.

TODO

  • Ironically, for a TDD tool, there's not enough tests.
