lein midje :autotest does not run facts

[phtrivier]

Probably a stupid setup issue here, but when using "lein midje :autotest", the tests are run the first time, but after that, editing the source file only shows a "No facts where checked. Is that what you wanted?" message. What should I check ?

Same issue here ...

I got it to work by copying the tests from the test project into the local test file. Cool. Onward to learn Clojure!

FWIW, I am also experiencing this issue, and worked around it using the same approach as @koss but surely it was designed like this (tests abstracted away) deliberately, i.e. Should Work (tm)?

[echox]

exactly the same issue here :-/
are there any other workarounds?

[joao-sallaberry]

Same here.

A better workaround (imho) is to run lein repl, which fires up a JVM with all the dependencies loaded. Then run tests like this:

(use 'midje.repl)
(load-facts 'iloveponies.tests.structured-data 'structured-data)

Obviously change the correct namespaces, eg. replace each structured-data occurence with training-day. After that just press the up arrow to get the same input line again (or use plain (load-facts), which assumes the same namespaces as previous call had).

Yes, still a PITA, but much faster than running lein midje.

It's also useful to call load-facts with a lower loglevel, so you don't get many screenfuls of failures when starting out.

user=> (load-facts -2)
{:failures 38}
user=> (load-facts -2)
{:failures 36}
