Hey skellock, I see you're using AVA for testing. As an AVA team member, thanks!

I absolutely adore AVA. Two way dependency tracking is underhyped.

You've done amazing work. Thank you.

Though off topic. Could you explain a bit more on what you mean by "two way dependency tracking" ? Something along the lines of why that is useful and how ava helps in this would be really helpful.

In watch mode, most testing frameworks can detect that you saved your test file and re-run it.

With AVA, if you save the file your test is targeting, it will re-run your test.

And every other test targeting it.

And every other test that has a nested dependency on it.
