Feature request: test results as a notification

[slowteetoe]

Apologies if this has been asked, but I was wondering if there was a way to report the status of tests via a notification?

If I'm developing in a TDD style, I usually have some flavor of cargo watch -x test running in the background.

It would be great if there was a way to report red (tests failing) or green (test passing) through the desktop notifications.

It seems like the plumbing is there, since --notify pops up a notification every time there's a change, maybe just a way to react to the exit status? i.e. 0=green, >0=red?

@slowteetoe which OS are you using? I am on Linux and my hand-made way of reporting when a compile ends is:

cargo-watch -x build -s '/usr/bin/notify-send "Compile result" DONE'

Stuff in -s is executed after the process ends and (IIUC) only when cargo exits with success. I assume that with a bit of scripting you should be able to wrap cargo-watch and write your own custom reporting notification that also handles the case where the command exited with an error code (f.e. one test failed)
