Only the '--looponfailing' option does what you want.  It keeps
the frontend process looping and waiting for file changes 
in the project.  On such changes the failing tests are re-run
in a second process.  The backend process reports to the
frontend process the set of failing tests so that they
can be memorized by the frontend process.
