Is there a native way to run tests in "watch" mode? I often run tests in a loop while I'm working so I can immediately see failures. I can just use

entr

but wondered if pants can do this for me.

There is!

pants --loop ...

Yup https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/goals#running-goals

Works with

test

,

lint

, even

run

(if your binary is marked as

restartable

)

Thank you for not telling me to RTFM ❤️
