 ''This ticket was mentioned in

 This is an alternative approach for a test watcher to the Grunt approach
 in
 [https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/6382/6382.6.patch
 6382.6.patch]. phpunit-watcher is used in Gutenberg, wordcamp.org, and
 several other wporg repos.

 Pest may be a better alternative long term, but that might require a more
 substantial migration. There isn't any watcher right now, which makes
 testing less convenient (and therefore less likely). The ticket has been
 dormant for a long time, and this only took a few minutes to set up, so it
 seems like a good short/medium-term solution to me, even if folks
 eventually want to switch to Pest or something else. IMO it'd also be fine
 as a long-term solution.

 To test, run `composer update`, then something like `composer run
 test:watch -- --group=group,cache`. It should re-run the selected tests
 automatically when any PHP files in `src` or `tests` change.
