Is it possible to run one or few prove tests when I eval sexp in Emacs?

I want to run selected tests on sexp evaluation and to show tests status in Emacs's status-bar.

What is the best way to do it?

I bet it depends on how you write and organize your tests, can we see an example ?

Lately I had tests surrounded by a form, like this:

(with-dynamic-stubs ((dex:get htmlpage)
                     …
  (ok  (with-output-to-string (out)
        (…

  (is 6 
      (length

so evaluating inside the test ok or is ran the two. I isolated them with a macro, factoring the (with-dynamic-stubs…. Is this your question ?

Also this Emacs thing, is it particular to Prove, do you do this with another test framework ?

Yes, I have similar tests: https://github.com/40ants/hacrm/blob/master/t/plugins/birthdays.lisp#L10-L17

I imaging an Emacs plugin in which I can mark any lisp form as a form to evaluate on next slime-compile-defun. And when I do C-c C-c slime will run all marked forms.

Probably, will write a prototype minor mode with this functionality.

I see, that would be nice, and maybe more flexible than prove's skip.

I'd ask on SO or Emacs Stack Exchange too.
