ExGuard is a mix command to handle events on file system modifications, ExGuard heavily borrowed ideas/art works from Guard
-
Add ex_guard to your list of dependencies in
mix.exs
:def deps do [{:ex_guard, "~> 1.1.1", only: :dev}] end
-
Create a file named
.exguard.exs
in your root application directory: ```elixir use ExGuard.Configguard("unit-test") |> command("mix test --color") |> watch(~r{.(erl|ex|exs|eex|xrl|yrl)\z}i) |> notification(:auto) ``` Look at .exguard.exs for more fine-grained config
-
run
mix guard
as soon as you change any file with above pattern, the test gets executed
Currently supports notification with tools:
- Terminal Title (Xterm)
- TMux (Universal)
- Terminal Notifier (mac only)
- Notify Send (linux distros)
In order to ExGuard sends notification, you need to make sure these tools are setup properly.
