Build / test status

Wrap a build or test command so the notch shows live progress and the result, without watching the terminal.

Bash

bash

tellie update "Building…" --source make --icon hammer
if make; then
  tellie flash "Build passed" --source make --icon checkmark.circle
else
  tellie update "Build failed" --source make --icon exclamationmark.triangle --attention
fi

Tests (with a final clear)

bash

tellie update "Running tests…" --source pytest --icon flask
if pytest -q; then
  tellie flash "All tests passed" --source pytest --icon checkmark.circle
else
  tellie update "Tests failing, look" --source pytest --icon xmark.octagon --attention
fi
# optional: sign off after a moment
( sleep 8; tellie clear --source pytest ) &

Notes

--attention makes the failure pulse orange so you actually notice it.
Use a distinct --source per tool so build and test status sit side by side in the roster (hover to see both).
