Sorry I didn't see this sooner. It seems like that should work. You can try :kaocha/watch? instead. It may be that the namespace isn't being added like it would in a tests.edn file.

Ok let me try that - the test was taken into consideration cause I can run it without watching it

tried (k/run *ns* {:kaocha/watch? true}) and no, it is not watching...please let me know if you want me to try something else 😄
