Faaaa Sound — JetBrains IDE Plugin

Overview

Faaaa Sound is a JetBrains IDE plugin with a simple premise: when your tests fail, you hear a loud, dramatic "Faaaaaaah" sound. It makes ignoring a red test suite very hard.

Why

Built as a fun experiment to explore the JetBrains Plugin SDK and Kotlin coroutines in the context of IDE event listeners.

Technical Details

• Hooks into the IntelliJ Platform's TestStatusListener extension point
• Plays a bundled audio clip via javax.sound.sampled on test failure
• Zero configuration — install and it works in any project with a test runner
• Compatible with JUnit, TestNG, Pytest, and Pest (any JetBrains-native test runner)

Available On

Published on GitHub — install via the JetBrains Plugin Marketplace or as a local .zip.
