Something like this might already exist, but here goes.

I've finally gotten around to rewriting the citeproc-js test runner in Node.js. (It's been a long time coming, I know.) Looking at the work on APA at #3602, I'm thinking that some small changes to the script might help lighten development for complex styles.

The idea would be to set up a separate area in the citeproc-js repo for style folders, and add two options to the script:

• -S to instruct the script to run tests from a particular style's folder, and
• -w to instruct the script to watch for changes in a style file being edited.

Script would then poll for changes to the style, and rerun the tests when change is detected, to provide alerts of collateral changes that a given change might have, without keyboard/mouse back-and-forth. Kind of Zotero Style Editor on steroids/NTZ.

I've used manually run processor test fixtures here for a style project recently, and it worked quite well. Watch monitoring would lighten the process further.

Thoughts? Rotten tomatoes?
