exercism.io is a brilliant site with loads of fun coding exercises and crowd-sourced code-reviews. You download an exercise and make the supplied tests pass. This plugin tries to make running those tests and navigating between the files a breeze for vim users.
It adds three simple mappings:
<Leader>t - runs the tests for the current exercise.
<Leader><Leader> - switches between source file and test file.
<Leader>r - opens the README.md
(You can set your <Leader> key to whatever you want. I use comma.)
Supports all languages (at time of writing) apart from C#, as I couldn't think of a nice way to automate the horrific process of building, linking and running the C# exercise, not least because there's no easy way to know where the nunit.framework.dll will be. Sorry, C-sharpers! Pull requests welcome ;-)
The OCaml settings for vim steals the <Leader>t mapping for itself, so when doing an OCaml exercise you have to use <Leader>m (for make) to run tests instead I'm afraid.
Pathogen is the easiest way to install. Assuming you have pathogen set up, just:
cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/rsslldnphy/vim-exercism.git
You must be in the exercise directory for these commands to work, but they will work from any file in that directory.
The plugin relies on you exercises being stored in a directory named exercism... which I'm assuming most if not everyone's are.
Working out which file is the source and which is the test is basically guess-work, so may go wrong. If it does, please let me know the example so the guesswork can be made more effective.
Aaargh.
