tst
A universal test command for running tests with fewer key-strokes.
tst automatically finds configuration files associated with test and runs the appropriate command to run the tests.
In a NodeJS project it runs npm test, in a Rust project it runs cargo test,
in a Haskell project it runs stack test, and so on.
Alias it to t and treat it as a key-stroke saving short-cut that always
expands to the test command you want to write.
Features
- Works with many different programming languages and project configuration.
- A portable dependency free POSIX shell script.
- Provides helpful error messages in case tests are not available or cannot be run.
