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.
