continual red/green testing with a growl interface
rdpoor opened this issue · comments
Lovely tutorial, and I'm a huge fan of TDD (and Flask, etc). As icing on the cake, you might want to direct users to a red-light / green-light mechanism with continual testing and "growl" style icons.
I've written a system like that for macOS, but I'm sure there are equivalent packages for Windows and Linux.
(And I don't suggest you bloat your tutorial with this kind of thing but rather provide a link.)
Anyway, great stuff.
Is the system that you have open source?
It is now! I just added an MIT license and pushed it to:
https://github.com/rdpoor/auto-red-green
As it's only a tool I wrote for my own use, there no ReadMe yet, but it's not that complicated. You'll need to customize the run-tests script for your own setup. A future version should take command line args, etc.
Anyway, I'd welcome suggestions, critiques, pull requests, etc.
(And I'm 95% through flaskr-tdd. It's really pleasant. Thanks again.)
Thanks. I'll take a look at it in a few days. Glad you're enjoying the tutorial. Best!
(See what you've done? You've goaded me into creating a README file for auto-red-green. Thank you!)
