Tests using data files should be re-run at data files change #66

Description

@alexey-vyskubov

Quite common scenario is the tests reading input and/or expected results from files. How can we make sure that changes in those "data files" will trigger re-run of the corresponding tests? Some approaches, with varying degree of success and complexity could be:

  • search tests for literals which are filenames
  • intercept open() somehow
  • monitor the filesystem during test run
