@searls @tenderlove first commit 2023 https://github.com/joeldrapper/green_dots

Either way it’s cool though.

@searls @tenderlove love it!

@searls @tenderlove doesn't seem to work with minitest's spec style (i.e. describe/it) ?

@searls @tenderlove Doesn't everyone just run guard to constantly run the tests for the files they are editing every time a file is saved?

@searls @tenderlove @benoit hello you had me at “Because once your suite crosses the 1.8 second threshold, your test runner will be staring you in the face telling you that your tests didn’t fail, you did.”

@searls @tenderlove haha this is great. Wheres the rspec adapter? 👹

But for real, in a "typical" monolith getting a full suite running in under 2 minutes (parallel of course) is very doable. Or at least _some_ reduced version of the suite.

That plus guard make for a great combination. The hard part is the tooling, DB setup, and test hygiene to get there.

@searls @tenderlove has anyone used it on a real app in production? Seems wildly optimistic to think it won’t hide your regressions.

@searls @tenderlove I like it.

> for when you’re not expecting a failure and 1.8 seconds is too long to wait

🤣

But seriously, the point you make near the end: it’s ok to delete tests! I frequently stand on that soapbox.

I have no objections to this test runner. It’s a solid idea, well done.

@searls @tenderlove Neat!

Another new one in the last decade: https://github.com/test-bench/test-bench

@searls @tenderlove I posted this in the work slack yesterday (just the link with no comment) and it was like lighting a fuse and walking away. Recommended!

@searls @tenderlove as someone who (a) has also largely escaped the requirement to build real systems and (b) is officially* old and cranky… i mostly want the sandwhich. expect my TS;R test framework soon

@searls @tenderlove Ooh I see you're using super_diff, glad you find it useful :) Let me know if you run into any issues. I admit I have been working on other projects as of late but happy to prioritize any changes you'd like made!
