auto_test.Rd
The idea behind auto_test()
is that you just leave it running while
you develop your code. Everytime you save a file it will be automatically
tested and you can easily see if your changes have caused any test
failures.
auto_test( code_path, test_path, reporter = default_reporter(), env = test_env(), hash = TRUE )
code_path | path to directory containing code |
---|---|
test_path | path to directory containing tests |
reporter | test reporter to use |
env | environment in which to execute test suite. |
hash | Passed on to |
The current strategy for rerunning tests is as follows:
if any code has changed, then those files are reloaded and all tests rerun
otherwise, each new or modified test is run
In the future, auto_test()
might implement one of the following more
intelligent alternatives:
Use codetools to build up dependency tree and then rerun tests only when a dependency changes.
Mimic ruby's autotest and rerun only failing tests until they pass, and then rerun all tests.
