ExUnit Notifier

Show desktop notifications for ExUnit runs. Works very well with automatic test runners such as mix-test.watch. (Yes, TDD is awesome!)

Currently notifications on OS X and Linux are supported.

Installation

First, add ExUnitNotifier to your mix.exs dependencies:

def deps do
  [{:ex_unit_notifier, "~> 1.0", only: :test}]
end

Then, update your dependencies:

$ mix deps.get

For OS X

Ensure terminal-notifier is installed and available through the users PATH.

For Linux

Install notify-send:

sudo apt install libnotify-bin

Usage

Add ExUnitNotifier to your ExUnit configuration in test/test_helper.exs file.

ExUnit.configure formatters: [ExUnit.CLIFormatter, ExUnitNotifier]
ExUnit.start

Now run mix test and you'll see notifications popping up :)

Notification Types

Notifications will be sent from the first available notifier that is deemed available in the order specified below:

terminal-notifier
notify-send
Terminal Title if non of the above match

To force a specific type of notifier to be used, specify the notifier using the following configuration:

config :ex_unit_notifier, notifier: ExUnitNotifier.Notifiers.TerminalNotifier

You can use one of the available notifiers found in lib/ex_unit_notifier/notifiers, or you can write your own.
