IEx - run Mix "test" task

Question

I get a bit tired of switching between Tmux panes so I'm trying to just work with vim and iex rather than entering mix commands into another console.

With that goal in mind, I enter the following into the iex console but my tests don't appear to execute:

Mix.env(:test)
Mix.Task.reenable "test"
Mix.Task.run "test", []

The console output is:

iex(52)>Mix.env(:test)
:ok
iex(53)>Mix.Task.reenable "test"
:ok
iex(54)>Mix.Task.run "test", []


Finished in 0.00 seconds
0 tests, 0 failures

 #Function<4.72894143/1 in Mix.Tasks.Test.run/1>]

Can anyone give me a pointer on how to make this work?

I don't have a pointer to get your unstuck but I did confirm this does work for me, sorry — CaptChrisD, Apr 05 '16 at 16:07
I had the same problem some time ago, and I resolved with the vim plugin: https://github.com/vim-test/vim-test, it has support for elixir tests — Rodrigo Ce Moretto, Jun 14 '22 at 16:18

I had the same issue, couldn't really fix the problem but as a workaround you can use

Mix.Shell.cmd("mix test", fn _ -> nil end)

See docs
