    Run a command when files change (by cespare)

  • There are tools like https://github.com/cespare/reflex that run a command when specific files are changing. You could use it to run go test whenever one of your files changes, so the changes would be reflected instantly in the terminal.

  • Go for Visual Studio Code

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

    ☁️ Live reload for Go apps

  • IIRC VS Code has option to run tests after each save. If you want a more terminal way I recommend https://github.com/cosmtrek/air and configure to run go test on each change.
