alternate.vim

Find your test and implementation files.

Why

When your working on a software project you will often need to:

  • Find and open the test for the current source file.
  • Find and open the source file for the current test file.
  • Find and run the test for the current source file you just modified.

This plugin provides a simple interface to find test and implementation files across different projects and languages.

Usage

Find the alternate file:

:echo alternate#FindAlternate()

Find the test file:

:echo alternate#FindTest()

Usage with open

:Open(alternate#FindAlternate())

Open the alternate file in the current window.

:OpenVertical(alternate#FindAlternate())

Open the alternate file in a new vertical split.

How it works

When you open a recognised file type, alternate examines your working directory for common project layout conventions. Once a layout convention is recognised alternate will use it to scan for alternate files.

Recognised Conventions

Ruby

(app|lib)/**/foo.rb <-> spec/**/foo_spec.rb
lib/**/foo.rb <-> spec/**/foo_spec.rb
**/foo.rb <-> test/**/foo_unit.rb

Python

**/foo.py <-> test/**/test_foo.py
**/foo.py <-> **/test_foo.py

(Java|Coffee) Script

app/assets/javascripts/**/foo.js.coffee <-> spec/javascripts/**/foo_spec.js.coffee
**/foo.js.coffee <-> spec/**/foo_spec.js.coffee

Haskell

src/**/foo.hs <-> testsuite/tests/**/Qcfoo.hs

C++

**/Foo.cc <-> **/TestFoo.cc

Golang

**/foo.go <-> **/foo_test.go
