[Chicago] Running tests automatically with Unitttest...

[Chris Foresman]

Yeah, that does seem like overkill to me, too. But really what you need is some daemon process that would monitor your project folder and any folders inside it and then runs `python manage.py test`; you could probably do that with Automator, TBH.

We run tests manually in the local environment then trigger the test suite automatically when we open a pull request in Github. That’s probably a more common set up if you ask around.
