Test On Save

Tired of switching to the test explorer to run test while working TDD style? This extension will automatically run them for you when you save a file!

Features

Language independent - command to run tests can be set through settings.json
Can be enabled/disabled through settings.json or by clicking the status bar icon
Runs discretely in the background - no annoying popups, only red or green status bar icon displaying last test result
Exit codes can be mapped to status icons for passing, failed, and errored tests

Test On Save runs on VScode 1.62.0 and above.

This extension contributes the following settings:

testOnSave.enabled: Enable/disable this extension
testOnSave.testCommand: Command to run tests. Any non-zero exit code is treated as failing tests.
testOnSave.languageId: Only trigger tests when a file of this language is saved. Set to "any" to always run tests after saving.
testOnSave.exitCodePass: Exit code(s) that are considered as a passing test suite. Defaults to 0.
testOnSave.exitCodeFail: Exit code(s) that are considered as a failing test suite. Defaults to non-zero.
testOnSave.exitCodeError: Exit code(s) that are considered as errors when running the tests. Not used by default.

The following open TODOs and known issues exists:

allow specification of multiple test commands for different language ids
use the native testing API of VScode to run tests and get test results, as soon as vscode.tests.testResults is available outside the proposed API

See the changelog for details.
