[core] Mapping resources to trigger tests

[dcendents]

Hi,

It would be useful if we could configure infinitest with a mapping of resources vs Test class(es) to run.

Currently in eclipse a Test will be run when the Java source file is modified or the corresponding Test class is modified. However if I modify a resource, nothing is triggered, I need to clean the project to trigger all tests to run.

I develop using a BDD framework (cola-tests) which means I can alter tests without touching a Java file. It would be very useful if I could instruct infinitest of which files to monitor for modifications and also which test classes to trigger when a file has been modified.

Thanks

"Test Impact Analysis" is the field of computer science. I raised an issue with the Intellij people https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-174949

At a previous employer, I set this precise thing up for their 20 hours of Excel tests (invoking Python prod code). Different tech, but the idea is exactly the same.
