A Vim/Neovim plugin that wraps many test runners so you can run tests at different granularities (file, nearest test, suite) directly from the editor. It auto-detects runners, requires zero configuration, and supports multiple execution strategies.

Use cases

  • run tests from inside vim
  • run the nearest test under cursor
  • run whole test suite without leaving the editor
  • test-driven development workflow in neovim
  • auto-detect test runner for any language
  • run tests in a terminal or tmux split

When to choose

  • you edit in Vim or Neovim and want fast, zero-config test running
  • you work across many languages and want one unified test-running interface
  • you practice TDD and want to run a single nearest test quickly

When to avoid

  • you use VS Code or another IDE with built-in test runners
  • you need a standalone CI test runner outside the editor
  • you don't use Vim/Neovim
