I'm writing some threaded python code in vim. When I run my tests, with
:! py.test test_me.py
Sometimes they hang and cannot be killed with ctrl-C. So I have to background vim (actually the shell the tests are running in) and pkill py.test
. Is there a better way to kill the hanging test suite?
I tried mapping :map ,k:! pkill py.test
:map ,k:! pkill py.test
but this doesn't work since while the tests are running my input is going to the shell running the test, not vim.
EDIT: I'm looking for a way to kill the test process that is quicker than ctrl-Z
, pkill py.test
, fg
<cr>
to return to editing. Ideally just a hotkey.
When you do :!
in Vim, you effectively put Vim into background and the running process, in this case py.test
, gets the focus. That means you can't tell Vim to kill the process for you since Vim is not getting keystrokes from you.
Ctrl - Z puts Vim into background while running py.test
because Vim is the parent process of py.test
. Thus the shell goes through the chain then puts all children as well as the parent into background.
I would suggest that you open another terminal window and do all the housekeeping chores there.
