vim+python+nosetests yummmm!

Now that I’ve finally figured out how to enable Python bindings in vim in OSX, I’ve managed to do something useful.

vim+python+nosetests to automagically detect what function or method you’re in and then run nosetests against that piece of code.

Yes - if you’re running Emacs, this is oh-so-boring, but well - if you’re using emacs - your wrists probably hurt really badly a lot of the time too.

I’m still tweaking things a bit, but the video shows me running module level test functions as well as unittest.TestCase-like test methods.

I’ll be posting code up shortly after I get it into a state where it’s not completely embarrassing to me.

[…] It has been a little over three years since I did any significant software development work. I miss it, particularly when I read posts like this — easy to mock Vi, but c’mon, it’s still cool… […]

So, hey, are you actually going to post the code at some point? I was lying in bed last night, thinking “Hey, wouldn’t it be cool to just hit a couple keys and jump right to the test file for whatever method you’re in?”

right on

My name is Victor Ng and I make computers go whzzzzz, brrrr, beep beep beep.

I make software.

I’m 31. How did the time go by?

I’m a dad, a Python programmer and a comic book nerd.

I try to be nice, but I tend to be harsh to people who need to get hit by a cluestick.

There should probably be something more interesting here - but I’m busy and feeling uninspired at the moment. Come back later.
