Run npm test, pytest or any command from a global hotkey, with a notice when it passes and a beep when it fails.

Readme

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.
