Tsdx: test not running in watch mode by default

[tylerthehaas]

Current Behavior

yarn test isn't running in interactive mode

Expected behavior

to have tests run in interactive/watch mode.

can you suggest a way to pass thru all flags down into jest? this might help support all of jest's other features.

[tylerthehaas]

I wonder if we can use bash's $@ as mentioned in this post:

something like jest -- "$@"

[sw-yx]

eh i think we have better ways to do that programmatically. but feel free to open up a pr and do what works!

[tylerthehaas]

what do you suggest?

[sw-yx]

not sure but check this out: https://github.com/jaredpalmer/tsdx/blob/c5f65bcdee60377886d721bc642cdb22c9f73db0/src/index.ts#L559-L581 and see how you'd change

@tylerthehaas, sorry if I misunderstood, but isn't yarn test --watch what you need?

[jaredpalmer]

Yeah all we should do is key off of whether CI=true IMHO

[sw-yx]

that works. nice 1-2 liner.

[MartijnHols]

Previously I could use yarn test for a single run and yarn test --watch for watching. Is it no longer possible to make it run just once outside of CI now?

[ambroseus]

@MartijnHols just add CI=true explicitly
"test": "CI=true tsdx test --color"
"test:coverage": "CI=true tsdx test --color --coverage"

[sw-yx]

or ctrl + C to kill :)

@MartijnHols @ambroseus we are reverting the "watch mode by default" behavior we added a month ago - sorry for the flipflop. more info https://github.com/jaredpalmer/tsdx/issues/408
