How to automate module reload during unit testing with Erlang?

I use Emacs and try to automate my testing workflow as much as possible. I configured it so that it works, but I need to manually compile the module under test or the module containing the tests before Erlang Shell recognizes my changes.

I have two files mymodule.erland mymodule_tests.erl. I would like to be able to:

  • Add test case to mymodule_tests
  • Save mymodule_tests
  • Switch to Erlang Shell
  • Run tests with a single line, for example, eunit:test(mymodule)ormymodule_tests:test()
  • Before running Erlang tests, reload mymodule and mymodule_tests

I tried to write my own testing method, but it does not work.

-module (mytests).
-export([test/0]).

-import(mymodule).
-import(mymodule_tests).
-import(code).

test() ->
    code:purge(mymodule),
    code:delete(mymodule),
    code:load_file(mymodule),
    code:purge(mymodule_tests),
    code:delete(mymodule_tests),
    code:load_file(mymodule_tests),
    mymodule_tests:test().

-compile(mymodule). mymodule_tests, , mymodule mymodule_tests, .
