Speeding up your Gradle tests

More information on the github gist: https://gist.github.com/lfzawacki/7256922

You can follow these steps to make your life easier and faster when using gradle to test your projects, I'm using this to hack away in BigBlueButton

• Setup gradle build to use the daemon, like explained here: http://www.timroes.de/2013/09/12/speed-up-gradle/
• Install the package inotify-tools
• Create the auto-run.sh script on your project folder.

• Run the auto-run.sh script included in this gist like this:

  $ sh auto-run.sh "srcfolder/ -r"

• "srcfolder/" should be the path to your code's folder

• Tests should now running automatically (and quicly!) with each code change

Auto-load

You can user Auto-reload for firefox and configure it to track build/reports/tests/index.html and keep a Firefox window permanently open with the test results.

You're done :)
