How to run with nodemon or chokidar?

[bburns]

Just in case someone needs this - this will keep running riteway as changes are made to the source or test files. Couldn't get it to work with nodemon but chokidar-cli works - it uses chokidar to monitor files and run a command after any changes.

Install chokidar-cli - https://github.com/kimmobrunfeldt/chokidar-cli

npm install --save-dev chokidar-cli

Update the test script in package.json - the --command option specifies the command to run after any of the specified files change, and --initial tells chokidar to run the command once on start -

{
  "name": "ta",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "chokidar \"src/**/*.js\" --initial --command \"riteway -r esm src/**/*.test.js | tap-nirvana\""
  },
  "license": "ISC",
  "devDependencies": {
    "chokidar-cli": "^2.1.0",
    "esm": "^3.2.25",
    "riteway": "^6.1.2",
    "tap-nirvana": "^1.1.0"
  }
}

Then just

npm test
