  @moduledoc """
  Interactive test runner for ExUnit tests.

  `mix test.interactive` allows you to easily switch between running all tests,
  stale tests, or failed tests. Or, you can run only the tests whose filenames
  contain a substring. Includes an optional "watch mode" which runs tests after
  every file change.

  ## Usage

  ```shell
  mix test.interactive [options] pattern...
  ```

  Your tests will run immediately (and every time a file changes).

  ### Options

  `mix test.interactive` understands the following options:
  - `--no-watch`: Don't run tests when a file changes

  All other options are passed through to `mix test` on every test run.

  `mix test.interactive` will detect the `--stale` and `--failed` flags and use
  those as initial settings in interactive mode. You can then toggle those flags
  on and off as needed.

  ### Patterns and filenames

  `mix test.interactive` can take the same filename or filename:line_number
  patterns that `mix test` understands. It also allows you to specify one or
  more "patterns" - strings that match one or more test files. When you provide
  one or more patterns on the command-line, `mix test.interactive` will find all
  test files matching those patterns and pass them to `mix test` as if you had
  used the `p` command (described below).

  ## Interactive Commands

  After the tests run, you can use the interactive mode to change which tests
  will run.

  - `a`: Run all tests.
  - `f`: Run only tests that failed on the last run (equivalent to the
  `--failed` option of `mix test`).
  - `p`: Run only test files that match one or more provided patterns. A pattern
  is the project-root-relative path to a test file (with or without a line
  number specification) or a string that matches a portion of full pathname.
  e.g. `test/my_project/my_test.exs`, `test/my_project/my_test.exs:12:24` or
  `my`.
  - `q`: Exit the program. (Can also use `Ctrl-D`.)
  - `s`: Run only test files that reference modules that have changed since the
  last run (equivalent to the `--stale` option of `mix test`).
  - `w`: Turn file-watching mode on or off.
  - `Enter`: Re-run the current set of tests without requiring a file change.

  ## Configuration

  If your project has a `config/config.exs` file, you can customize the
  operation of `mix test.interactive` with the following settings:

  - `clear: true`: Clear the console before each run (default: `false`).
  - `exclude: [patterns...]`: A list of `Regex`es to ignore when watching for
    changes (default: `[~r/\.#/, ~r{priv/repo/migrations}]`).
  - `task: <task name>`: The mix task to use when running tests (default:
    `"test"`).
