- MiroslavPokorny 12d agoOf course you can, but theres a reason why people like IDES where they can point and click to select and run tests rather than typing names.
- bayindirh 12d agoDepends. I'm a huge fan of Eclipse (yes, that one) and use it heavily for my C++ and Python projects, yet I have no problems with hitting a couple of more keys to run some named tests when required (i.e. Go). When I'm in my flow state, I find reaching for a pointing device is taking longer than typing something in, BTW. Keyboard driven interfaces and terminals are underrated.
- MiroslavPokorny 12d agoYou just reiterated my point, people dont like typing long command lines with names when they could just use the smarts of an IDE.
- bayindirh 11d agoI don't think so. Selectively running tests is not in my top 100 reasons to use an IDE list, even. I like IDEs for all the code insight they provide. Running a named tests by typing its name is not a nuisance by any measurable distance (for me).
