Audiovisual feedback for test runs, simplified

🎶 plays a pleasant sound if your tests succeed and a melancholy one if they fail

Global:

npm install -g @pesterhazy/beep-boop

For your project:

npm install @pesterhazy/beep-boop

npx beep-boop --version
# or if installed globally
beep-boop --version

Typically beep-boop is used as a prefix command wrapping your test runner:

watchexec -- beep-boop npm test

or

watchexec -- beep-boop your-test-command

Turn your audio volume up so you can hear the sound effect! On macOS you'll also see a temporary display notification with a red or green icon.

beep-boop works by inspecting the exit status of the command it wraps, so you can easily try it like this:

beep-boop /usr/bin/true
beep-boop /usr/bin/false
