I'm using Infinitest for a few years, it's simply wonderfull!
I just started learning javascript, and wondered if there's something similar? Continuous testing can be done with Mocha, or Karma (for clients), but since I'm a Java developer, I'm used to Eclipse.
I started working on something that looks like Infinitest, but instead of running the tests by itself, it would simply open a SocketServer and listen for external continuous integration framework tests results. I built an OSGi bundle listening for the sockets, and another (using the socket bundle) listening for tests results. But when it come to the Eclipse plugin, before starting something new, I wonder if forking Infinitest and adapt it to receive tests results would be easily suitable, instead of having it to run the test by itself?
If so, it would be wonderfull! I don't know every languages, but it would mean we can build plugins for any continuous integration system, and have them publish their results to a local socket so Eclipse can underline errors, add to error view, etc...
I just cloned Infinitest repository, and will look if it is reusable for what I'm looking for.
Any opinion on that subject?
I don't know IntelliJ, but I don't see any reason it couldn't be ported to it.
