Dependencies

Chutzpah needs to be installed please refer to CHUTZPAH OFFICIAL PAGE to download chutzpah at your desk. You can pass the chutzpah exe path in Chutzpah-Watch.json

How It Works

It scans the directory and filter outs the files based on the configurations given. Starts watching the changes on those files and whenever change detected then it executes chutzpah.console.exe /path changedfile.spec.ts

Please check Chutzpah Command Line Option already has flags which we can pass to run chutzpah in command line.
