I''m having trouble getting autotest to run "out of the box" with rspec. I''ve got a Leopard setup with Zentest 3.5.0, rspec on trunk, and rails 2.0PR. No ".autotest" file. There are a couple of issues: 1. Running ''autotest'' inititally yields a command not found for "spec --diff unified etc etc". This seems to be an old issue but I can fix it by creating a "~/.autotest" file and attaching a hook to autotest initialize to explicity set the spec_command to script/spec. Fine. 2. Regardless of #1, restarting autotest once loaded makes it crap out with an initialize error, complaining about wrong arguments (0 for 1) or somesuch - the exact stack trace and error I can post when home again tonight. 3. I can live with the first two, but autotest isn''t picking up any changes to any view specs. I''ve tried index.rhtml_spec.rb and index.html.erb_spec.rb but nothing does the trick. Controller spec changes are detected just fine. Haven''t tried model specs yet. I''d love to hear any suggestions you may have and thank you kindly in advance.

Fine. >And you have diff-lcs gem installed, correct? What version are you on? If you run script/spec, is everything working just fine?> 2.

(You should do this every time you get changes from rspec - I''m assuming your running off of rspec''s trunk on externals in a rails project).> > 3.

Haven''t tried model specs yet.Here''s the relevant mapping: %r%^app/views/(.*)$% => proc { |_, m| files_matching %r%^spec/views/#{m[1]}_spec.rb$% }, So if you have app/views/foo/template.rhtml, you''ll want spec/views/ foo/template.rhtml_spec.rb Let us know how it goes (I know technoweenie has been having problems with autotest as well - so maybe it''s some sort of Leopard bug).

No ".autotest" file.Oops. Didn''t read your info very well ;). You''ll want to upgrade to the latest Zentest - 3.6.1. That should fix you right up. Scott

My gem configuration is kind of mangled (Leopard thing) and ZenTest would only update to 3.5.0 so I thought it was the most recent version. Manually downloading and installing the gem fixed every one of the issues for me, using some instructions from one of David''s posts (but for ZenTest 3.6.1): http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2007/05/01/rspec-0-9-1-and-autotest-zentest-3-5-2 At that point I had two versions of ZenTest installed and did a targetted uninstall of 3.5.0. Many thanks, Scott. I could''ve saved hours of frustration had I only come here first! Brad -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Are you using the rubygems which comes with leopard? I wonder if it''s a bug... Scott

First thing I did at the terminal was a ''gem update --system'' which, as it now turns out, is a no-no, since the gem directories get mixed up. I''ve recently since explicitly set the GEM_PATH and GEM_HOME to point to the Leopard defaults to avoid further confusion. Some gems were being written to /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 More details here: http://www.luisdelarosa.com/2007/11/10/ruby-bugs-on-leopard/ In any case, rspec and zentest are working wonderfully now.
