Suggestion: automatically rerun tests when saving .al file

[lvanvugt]

Hi James,

It seems that in some other dev environments tests are rerun automatically when a test has been fixed and saved. Is this something useful to add to the AL Test Runner?

Hi Luc,

Yes, that is something that I've seen with other test runners and considered. The thing that has put me off in the past is the fact that the test app needs to be built and published before the test(s) can be run. I wondered if that would be a little annoying or disruptive. Got any ideas about how this might work? Have a short delay after the file has been saved and then run the test that the cursor is currently in?

Indeed that's the main "challenge".

Got any ideas about how this might work? Have a short delay after the file has been saved and then run the test that the cursor is currently in?

Some thoughts/questions:

• What about having this depend on/triggered by a commit from the Source Control pane?
• And how about using Rapid Deployment?
