Tix

Automatically re-run tests in Elixir's iex console when files are saved. It's like mix test.watch but without the reboot.

Usage

Start an iex shell in test env with MIX_ENV=test iex -S mix and run Tix.start().

Tix recompiles and executes tests automatically. Only relevant modules (see mix xref and mix test --stale) are recompiled. The following algorithm is used to choose which test to execute:

1. Pinned test if present (pin with Tix.pin({"/path/to/test.exs", 23}))
2. Saved file is a test file (ending with _test.exs).✅
3. Saved file has a test sibling (same name as saved file but with _test.exs-ending) living in the same folder.✅
4. Previously executed test if none of the above matches.

Installation

The package can be installed by adding tix to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:tix, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

Documentation can be generated with ExDoc and published on HexDocs. Once published, the docs can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/tix.

Issues

• Tests are randomized with the same seed.
• pry session kills itself (after a timeout) and testix with it
• Tags like @tag :skip are not considered

(Planned) features

• Usage like https://github.com/nccgroup/sobelow, eg. mix tix
• Run all tests
• Set debug breakpoints from within vs-code
• Run only one explicit test on file save
