Trigger ./gradlew test when files have changed-CodePudding

I am building a Spring Boot REST API application and using Kotlin as the language. For the development I am using IntellJ as the IDE.

The project structure looks as follows:

Is there a way to watch changes in the folder src to trigger the gradle task ./gradlew test after files have been changed?

CodePudding user response：

You can right click the gradle task and set it to be done e.g. after each build.

CodePudding user response：

You can use Gradle's support for continuous builds:

./gradlew test --continuous

This will cause Gradle to watch the filesystem for changes and execute the test task and any tasks upon which it depends whenever a change is detected.
