In yesterday's email, I mentioned that I use watch commands such as nodemon, watchexec and entr whilst developing to run commands automatically when I change code.
For example, running find web/modules/custom | entr ./run test will re-run my test suite when any custom module changes.
This works well for tests, but for other checks, such as static analysis with PHPStan or coding standards with PHPCS, I have integrations in Neovim, and I get real-time feedback as I code.
If a line fails static analysis or coding standards, a diagnostic message is shown so I can fix it immediately, and I don't need to use a watcher or wait for my CI pipeline to fail.
