Ert-runner Integration Into Emacs
The ert-runner is a great way to run your ert tests. Overseer integrates this tool into emacs and let's you using it inside your lovely editor.
package.el is the built-in package manager in Emacs.
Overseer is available on the three major community maintained repositories - MELPA STABLE, MELPA and Marmalade.
You can install Overseer with the following commnad:
M-x package-install [RET] overseer [RET]
or by adding this bit of Emacs Lisp code to your Emacs initialization file
(.emacs or init.el):
(unless (package-installed-p 'overseer)
(package-install 'overseer))If the installation doesn't work try refreshing the package list:
M-x package-refresh-contents [RET]
Keep in mind that MELPA packages are built automatically from
the master branch, meaning bugs might creep in there from time to
time. Never-the-less, installing from MELPA is the recommended way of
obtaining Overseer, as the master branch is normally quite stable and
"stable" (tagged) builds are released somewhat infrequently.
With the most recent builds of Emacs, you can pin Overseer to always use MELPA Stable by adding this to your Emacs initialization:
(add-to-list 'package-pinned-packages '(overseer . "melpa-stable") t)el-get is another popular package manager for Emacs. If you're an el-get user just do M-x el-get-install [RET] overseer [RET].
You can install Overseer manually by placing it on your load-path and
require ing it. Many people favour the folder ~/.emacs.d/vendor.
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/vendor/")
(require 'overseer)The ert-runner will always run in the context of the current emacs lisp project.
The overseer-mode is enabled via emacs-lisp-mode-hook by default for emacs lisp test files. (*-test.el)
The overseer-mode minor mode will be automaticly enable the following keybindings:
