# mix phxtest

Mix task for running specific tests in your [phoenix](https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix) project via `mix test` (ex_unit) and `mix watch` ([mix-test.watch](https://github.com/lpil/mix-test.watch)) more conveniently.   

Let's admit it, we're all lazy and running specific tests in a phoenix project can be a bit of a hassle when specifying the full path. I for one, would prefer to strip the boilerplate text from the command. So, here's a fitting library.

```

# Stop doing this

$ mix test test/myapp_web/controllers/resource_controller.exs:12

# Start doing this

$ mix phxtest c resource 12

```

Just add `mix_phxtest` as a dependency to your project via [hex.pm](https://hex.pm/packages/mix_phxtest)    

```

{:mix_phxtest, "~> 0.2.2", only: [:test]}

```

### Usage

```

Usage: mix phxtest   [line]

       mix phxwatch   [line]

type:  c - controller (/test/myapp_web/controllers/)

       v - view       (/test/myapp_web/views/)

       p - plug       (/test/myapp_web/plug/)

       w - web        (/test/myapp_web/)

       l - lib        (/test/myapp/)

name:  The name of your file, you can add additional

       subdirectories here, if needed.

line:  The line of the test, if you only want to execute

       a single test. This is optional.

       

idea:  The phx.test and phxwatch are just aliases that

       perform simple string interpolation. The commands

       you are generating are composed like this:

       $ mix phxtest c user 12

       $ mix test /test/controllers/user_controller_test.exs:12

```

Hint: You can access nested tests by putting the path in the name parameter:

```

$ mix phxtest c device/mobile 11

# Will become

$ mix test test/myapp_web/controllers/device/mobile_controller_test.exs:11

```
