I’m re-installing my environment, while doing so I’m fixing a few things I’ve been missing in my environment.
Running tests using Python is really fast, so I wanted to add something like Autospec but for my tests. So I did the following:
- Right click the project you want to use
- Click properties
- Click on the builders item in the left pane
- Press New
- Select to add a Program builder
- Set python as program to run, your workspace as working directory and the command to run the tests as arguments. In my case I run tests using “manage.py test” from Django.
- On the Build Options page check all the options for when to run the builder
- Now every time I save a file, my test command is run in the console. I get the output in the console window which I’ve moved to the right of my editor,window.
- Hope it helps someone, the are probably improvements to this. You are welcome to suggest them in the comments section.
