I\u2019ve had a couple of queries about checking if a notifier is working, so that seemed like a good blog topic.<\/p>\n

Simon is a powerful app. One of its many features is the ability to create custom notifiers, the mechanism for informing you of changes or failures on the tests. Naturally, when you configure a new notifier, or edit an existing one, you want to make sure that it is set up correctly.<\/p>\n

This can be done very easily. When showing the Notifiers<\/strong> list, you can simply select the notifier you want to check (as you probably already have if you\u2019re editing one), and click the Reload<\/strong> button in the toolbar, or choose the File \u25b8 Notify Now<\/strong> menu command.<\/p>\n

The selected notifier will then be used, just like when used with a test, except that placeholder values will be used for any variables (since there isn\u2019t a test in this case).<\/p>\n

For example, here\u2019s a Notification Center notification, showing placeholder values:<\/p>\n

$\"Notification\"$ <\/p>\n
