Specify Folder Instead of Single File

[JeffreyWay]

Is there not a way to run PHPUnit on an entire test folder when a file is changed? It seems to only work if I explicitly set a test file to execute.

What I'm trying to do is something along the lines of:

# When routes.php is changed, run "phpunit app/tests"
watch('app/routes.php') { 'app/tests' }

Is that not possible, or am I being stupid?

When I run guard --debug and change app/routes.php, here is the output.

I haven't tried this, but just glancing over the docs for Guard, it looks like you can return an array from the watch block. So I'm guessing you could return an array of all files in the tests dir.

Something like:

watch('app/routes.php') { Dir.glob('app/tests/**/*.php') }

Worth a shot?

It worked! Thanks, Dan.

(Still would be nice to specify a folder name, and have guard-phpunit do that for me, though.)

@JeffreyWay I agree it would be nice.
