ShoulderTap gives desktop notifications from the output of TAP (Test Anything Protocol)

Using Bats as a TAP Producer, we pipe its output into ShoulderTap

bats test.bats | shouldertap

And for failing tests:

bats failing.bats | shouldertap

ShoulderTap also supports changing the name of the notification with the -n switch

bats tests.bats | shouldertap -n 'My Project'

There are a bunch of other producers available at the Test Anything website

With some simple shell scripting, we can run tests every time we save changes to our code. Here we are using Bacon as our test harness.

while true; do
  find . | xargs -- inotifywait --event modify
  bacon --tap tests/* | shouldertap
done

gem install shouldertap
