autoprove - automatically prove your application with tests
Simply run this command and leave it in the foreground:
$ autoprove
You may add a few 'prove' options:
$ autoprove --shuffle --fork
And/or specify only the test programs that you want to run automatically:
$ autoprove t/mytest.t t/another.t
This program is a CLI front-end to the module Test::Continuous. It is basically the equivalent of running:
perl -MTest::Continuous -e Test::Continuous::runtests
But simpler.
Test results are displayed on terminal. If Log::Dispatch::DesktopNotification is installed, test results will also be notified through that channel. If running on Mac, it'll be Growl, if it's on Linux desktop, it's done with Log::Dispatch::Gtk2::Notify.
Test::Continuous will auto detect the subset of tests to run. For example, say you have two test files feature-foo.t and feature-bar.t which test, and use, your module Feature::Foo and Feature::Bar respectively. Test::Continuous can catch this static dependency and only run feature-foo.t when Feature::Foo is modified, feature-bar.t will only be run if Feature::Bar is modified.
Test::Continuous
feature-foo.t
feature-bar.t
Feature::Foo
Feature::Bar
If a .t file is modified, only that test file will be run.
.t
