I'm experimenting with live-evaluating tests in my programming language project. It's relatively fiddly to hook up a UI for this, but it saves a precious keystroke to run the tests! I'm hoping that it results in more, better tests due to the convenience.

Has anyone built a great solution to 'run all my unit tests automatically'? It's straightforward to write a while loop in bash, but handling timeouts, syntax errors etc well is hard. Running on save would be good, although I wonder if you could run fast tests on each keystroke.

I frequently find myself running: $ slowish $ slowish | jq $ slowish | jq | grep I feel there must be a better way to build up pipelines incrementally without re-running. I could save each output to a file, but it's more verbose, and most of these tools have nicer output when stdout is a TTY.
