truffle-watch

A truffle plugin for re-running commands when files change.

Why

When developing contracts, we do a suite of checks regularly whenever we make changes:

• truffle compile
• truffle test
• slither ...

truffle-watch enables you to run all of these checks in a single terminal session.

Installation

1: Install the plugin

$ npm i truffle-watch

2: Add the plugin to truffle.js or truffle-config.js

module.exports = {
  /* ... rest of truffle-config */

  plugins: [
    'truffle-watch'
  ]
}

Usage

Sample usages:

$ truffle run watch
$ truffle run watch --config config.json

Sample config:

{
  'test': {
    'cmd': 'truffle',
    'args': ['test'],
    'files': ['contracts/*.sol', 'test/*.js']
  },
  'slither': {
    'cmd': 'slither',
    'args': ['.'],
    'files': ['contracts/*.sol']
  }
}

Default config:

{
  'test': {
    'cmd': 'truffle',
