How to automatically execute a shell command after saving a file in Vim?
This is because I'd like to automatically run tests after each file save.
I have looked at autocmd
and BufWritePost
but cannot make it work.
Solution 1:
This runs run_tests.sh
after any file is saved, with the current filename as the only parameter:
:autocmd BufWritePost * !run_tests.sh <afile>
View the auto-command with:
:autocmd BufWritePost *
And remove all auto-commands from the previous with:
:autocmd! BufWritePost *
