Works well. The task will not show in your rake -T listing because of a missing desc line. Just add something like the following: desc "Autotest that works with RSpec" to the rake file in the tasks directory for the plugin. Michael railsconsulting.com
I added this to my rakefile, to handle clearing out the test database
/ getting it up to date migrations in the dev. database.
namespace :spec do
task :server => ''db:test:prepare'' do
system(''script/rails_spec_server'')
end
end
Autotest is the bomb. I blogged a shortcut that I didn''t come up with
myself. But it is certainly useful to be able to scope your autotest
runs to a subset of your project.

What do you think about adding this code to rspec? Or does it more properly belong with autotest or as a plugin? I''ve noticed that it won''t work with a) color and b) with a checked out rspec directory w/ rails. That means all of my describe it spec''s won''t work, and the spec''s won''t even run. I''ve patched part b) for my own use. Would this be helpful to anyone?

Would this be helpful to anyone?I don''t really follow you but if you want color just add: --colour to your spec.opts file. Michael railsconsulting.com

I''m running rspec''s trunk, so I have that checked out in vendor/rails. One of the new features in trunk, which isn''t present in the 0.8.2 gem is using describe/it instead of context/specify. I don''t think the rspec_autotest even reads the options files. Look at it''s code: class RspecAutotest < Autotest attr_accessor :spec_command def initialize # :nodoc: @spec_command = "spec --diff unified" super @exceptions = %r%^\./(?:coverage|doc)% end .... end That means that unless you override the spec_command, it''s not going to read from your spec.opts file. This is what I get when I try to run the rake task: euclid% rake spec:autotest (in /Users/smtlaissezfaire/Sites/rails/dictionary) spec --diff unified spec/models/definition_category_spec.rb spec/ helpers/terms_helper_spec.rb spec/models/definition_spec.rb spec/ models/user_term_spec.rb spec/models/user_spec.rb spec/controllers/ terms_controller_spec.rb spec/models/term_spec.rb spec/models/ category_spec.rb /Users/smtlaissezfaire/Sites/rails/dictionary/vendor/plugins/ rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails/version.rb:14: (RuntimeError) ######################################################################## #### Your RSpec on Rails plugin is incompatible with your installed RSpec. RSpec : 0.8.2 (r1560) RSpec on Rails : r1652 Make sure your RSpec on Rails plugin is compatible with your RSpec gem. See http://rspec.rubyforge.org/documentation/rails/install.html for details. ######################################################################## #### Notice that the command is "spec --diff ..." - without --options. That means the spec.opts isn''t being used. The version of rspec_on_rails I have checked out is the trunk version. But the command is running against rspec gem which is older than trunk. This is what I meant when I said "the specs won''t even run" Scott> > Michael > railsconsulting.com > _______________________________________________ > rspec-users mailing list > rspec-users at rubyforge.org > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users

Does it work for you if you use the DRB server specified in your opts file? What version of rspec are you using?
