when your code changes. It looks for the following events:
- New
*.py
file created - Existing
*.py
file modified - Existing
*.py
file deleted
What about pytest-watch?
pytest-watch was around for a long time and was solving exactly this problem. Sadly, pytest-watch
is not maintained anymore and not working for many users. I wrote this tool as a substitute
Install pytest-watcher
pip install pytest-watcher
Usage
Specify the path that you want to watch:
ptw .
or
ptw /home/repos/project
Any arguments after <path>
will be forwarded to pytest
:
ptw . -x --lf --nf
Compatibility
The utility is OS independent and should be able to work with any platform.
Code is tested for Python versions 3.6+
