# cargo-watch

> Run a Cargo command (defaults to `run`) everytime a source file changes.

This should work on any POSIX environment where [`fswatch`](https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch) is available.

I quickly threw this together because [passcod/cargo-watch](https://github.com/passcod/cargo-watch) doesn't support Mac OS X, and I was tired of running `cargo build` by hand everytime I updated a source file.

**Update: @passcod's [cargo-watch](https://github.com/passcod/cargo-watch) now supports Mac OS X thanks to his [notify](https://github.com/passcod/rsnotify) library. This project is now considered deprecated.**

## Usage

```

Usage:

    cargo watch [options] []

Options:

    -h        Display this message.

    -d DIR    Watch files in the given directory [default: src/].

Requirements:

    This command requires fswatch to be present on your system.

    Use your favorite package manager to install it (MacPorts, Homebrew, apt, etc).

```

## Installation

1. Install `fswatch` using your favorite package manager (MacPorts, Homebrew, apt, etc).

2. Copy `cargo-watch` somewhere in your `$PATH`. Eg. `$ cp cargo-watch ~/.bin/cargo-watch`

3. Make it executable. Eg. `$ chmod +x ~/.bin/cargo-watch`

4. Then call the `watch` command as a normal `cargo` command. Eg. `$ cargo watch test`
