rspec users - May 2007 - autotest and rspec for a non-rails project

hi list -

should it be possible to use autotest to continuously run specs for a
non-rails project? when i execute autotest in the base directory of my
project, it complains that it cannot load rspec_autotest, however looking at
rspec_autotest[1] and rspec_rails_autotest.rb, it appears as though both are
geared towards rails (perhaps even rspec on rails).

cheers,
jean-pierre

See [1].  I believe David and Ryan are working on integrating this
patch in the next versions of RSpec and ZenTest.  My code is around
for posterity, but should be considered deprecated.

Cheers,

We''re actually working out a plugin model so that ZenTest
won''t know
about RSpec, but RSpec wil be able to quietly plug itself in to
autotest. That should be out within a week (hopefully within a day or
two).

In the mean time, your best bet is the latest rspec (1.0.0), the
latest ZenTest (3.5.2) and the patch from my blog post.

excellent, i''ll give the patch a go until a new version of zentest is
released.

thanks for the quick help!

Cool - FYI - you''ll need new versions of both RSpec and ZenTest when
they are released because they are both playing a part in the new
plugin structure.
