# Run the Tests

Press **F5** from any app and your test command runs in your project folder. A notice tells you when it passes and how long it took, and a beep tells you when it does not.

Needs Rebind 3.9.0 or newer on Windows, macOS, or Linux. It requests the exec permission so it can run your command.

## Settings

- **Run the tests:** default **F5**. Key changes apply while the package runs.
- **Test command:** what to run, such as `npm test` or `pytest`. It runs through the system shell (`sh -c` on macOS and Linux, `cmd` on Windows).
- **Project folder:** where to run it. Left empty, the command runs in Rebind's own working folder, so set it.

## Limits

- Commands run as Rebind's background service, not in your terminal. On macOS the service's PATH is `/opt/homebrew/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin`, so tools installed through nvm, volta, or other per-user managers need their full path in the command. On Linux the service runs as root.
- A run is stopped after 10 minutes. Output is not shown; only the result is.
- Notices appear in Rebind. To see them on the desktop, turn on **Desktop notifications** in Rebind's settings; Linux shows them only inside Rebind.
- Live use remains unverified on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

## Stop

Stop the package from the editor toolbar, or press **Left Ctrl + Left Alt + K** to stop all scripts.
