How do I get autotest to work?

For the life of me, I can''t get autotest to work.  I should note that
I am not using RVM, because I couldn''t get it to work.  I''m
doing my
development in VirtualBox so I can seamlessly switch from one setup to
another.

I''m going through chapter 3 at railstutorial.org (http://
ruby.railstutorial.org/chapters/static-pages#sec:first_tests), and I
can''t get autotest to work.

As the instructions say, I gem installed autotest -v 4.4.6, autotest-
rails-pure -v 4.1.2, ZenTest, and redgreen and git removed spec/views
and spec/helpers.  I used apt-get to install libnotify-bin.

I created the ~/.autotest file and downloaded the images to
~/.autotest_images as instructed at
http://automate-everything.com/2009/08/gnome-and-autospec-notifications/
.

But no matter what I do, entering "bundle exec rspec spec/" gives me a
LONG error message:
/home/jhsu/rails_projects/sample_app/spec/controllers/
pages_controller_spec.rb:1:in `require'': no such file to load --

CONTENTS OF pages_controller_spec.rb:
require ''spec_helper''

describe PagesController do

  describe "GET ''home''" do
    it "should be successful" do
      get ''home''
      response.should be_success
    end
  end

  describe "GET ''contact''" do
    it "should be successful" do
      get ''contact''
      response.should be_success
    end
  end

end

Not really an answer to your question, but did you thought about using
guard to get similar behaviour? Additionaly you could use guard-rails to
automatically restart the server when ever it is needed.

You can get guard itself from github:
<https://github.com/guard/guard>

Also there is a growing list of guardscripts:
<https://github.com/guard/guard/wiki/List-of-available-Guards>

A list of scripts I often use:
guard-rails:
  <https://github.com/guard/guard/wiki/List-of-available-Guards>
guard-rspec:
  <https://github.com/guard/guard-rspec>
guard-cucumber:
  <https://github.com/guard/guard-cucumber>

But probably you''ll find your own combination of scripts in the list
above?

Only thing I miss, would be conditional running of other guards.
Actually it restarts the server if corresponding files where changed,
independent from the outcome of guard-cucumber and guard-rspec.

Bye

Re: How do I get autotest to work?

Do you have spec/spec_helper.rb?
