How to automatically run tests when there's any change in my project (Django)?

Question

At the moment I am running python manage.py test every once in a while after I make significant changes in my django project. Is it possible to run those tests

Answer 1

I've found the easiest way is to use gulp as recommended by this post. Note that gulp-shell (recommended by other answers) is actually blacklisted by gulp, but thankfully you don't even need a plugin. Try this instead:

// gulpfile.js

const { watch } = require('gulp')
var exec = require('child_process').exec

function test (cb) {
  exec('python manage.py test', function (err, stdout, stderr) {
    console.log(stdout)
    console.log(stderr)
    cb(err)
  })
}

exports.default = function () {
  watch('./**/*.py', test)
}

In the past, I've tried many of the options suggested in other answers. This one was comparatively painless. It's helpful if you have some knowledge of JavaScript.
