PHPUnit + FAM + libnotify == fun

Last night I ‘tweeted’ (man, I hate that word!) on some hacking I was doing with PHPUnit, FAM (the File Alteration Monitor), and libnotify/notification-daemon to automatically run unit tests as you modify files.

Credit where credit is due: this was inspired by other people’s work with other unit testing frameworks.

Anyways, the short screencast in my update last night has already generated some interest, so I thought I’d get this out on the web for perhaps wider exposure.

Coming soon: continuous integration on your desktop for your PHPUnit projects.

    Spiffy. (And yes, “tweet” as a verb is ridiculous.)

    I can’t wait to get my hands on the code 🙂

    Well, it’s only been about 2 years, but I decided I should get this code somewhere public. There are still a few things I’d like to iron out, but feel free to clone away: https://github.com/andrewminerd/cram
