Configuration Details

Instructions

When working with this Aider configuration:

1. **Automatic Test Execution**: After each code modification, Aider will automatically run `make clean test`

2. **Test Failure Handling**: If tests fail, the configuration will:

- Display the contents of `./build/nvim-smoke-test/logs/run-recent.log`

- Exit with failure status to signal the problem

- Allow you to review the full test output

3. **Clean Test Runs**: The `make clean` ensures each test run starts from a clean state, preventing false positives from cached artifacts

4. **Workflow**:

- Make code changes through Aider

- Tests run automatically

- Review test results

- Iterate based on feedback
