Is the rspec_autotest plugin mentioned here,
http://blog.nicksieger.com/articles/2006/11/15/rspec-autotest-now-a-rails-plugin
the accepted method of auto testing specs? It''s an old article, and
after
grabbing the plugin, and giving it a run, it fails with:
$ rake spec:autotest:rails
trunk/vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails/dsl/behaviour/rails_example.rb:31:

I''m currently running rspec at r2794
If there''s another method that is preferred for automatic testing,
please
let me know.

That''s quite outdated. RSpec now comes with it''s own autotest plugin (which should use it by default, if you have the rspec gem installed).

How is autotesting enabled? Is it a special switch passed to ''spec'' or ''spec_server''?

Where would one find the necessary autotest capabilities?

Is it a special switch passed to ''spec'' or > ''spec_server''?Autotest looks at the load path when it starts up, and then looks in each load path for a file named lib/autotest/discovery.rb. Autotest requires rubygems, which by default puts any gems in the loadpath. So it goes through, and finds that rspec has this discovery.rb, and applies it if makes sense for your project (that is, if the spec/ directory exists in your project root). With this knowledge, if you really didn''t want to install the gem, you could add RAILS_ROOT/discovery.rb to require the discover.rb in RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/autotest/discover.rb - but my guess it that''s a bit much. The simple answer, if you just want to get it to work, is to install the gem. Scott

I already had zentest(I think for rspec_autotest), so just running autotest seems to do the trick. One question maybe you can answer. When it starts it runs all tests, which is cool. Then if I go and make a spec that fails, it tests it which is good. If I then fix that spec, it runs the spec, and when done then goes and runs all of the files again after that which is kind of annoying(and time consuming). Is there any way to disable that? The help options are rather sparse. Thanks, Steve

The help options are rather sparse.That''s how autotest works. That''s the whole point of autotest. It keeps you focused on the granular problem until you fix it and then makes sure you didn''t break anything anywhere else in the process. I don''t think you can change that, but check the autotest docs. If they don''t tell you what you need, file a feature request for that project. David
