rspec users - Sep 2008 - Growl notifications don''t work each time??

Hi - has anyone had problems with Growl notifications not working each
time?  I can hit save on a test, wait, check.  Then hit save again,
wait, check.  Sometimes the growl notification doesn''t work.

I''m using ZenTest / Rspec.
* ZenTest (3.10.0)
* Macintosh-2:myequity greg$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-23 patchlevel 110) [i686-darwin9.3.0]
* Macintosh-2:myequity greg$ rails -v
Rails 2.1.1


========================Macintosh-2:myequity greg$ cat ~/.autotest

module Autotest::Growl

 AUTOTEST_IMAGE_ROOT = "~/.autotest_images"

 def self.growl title, msg, img, pri=0, sticky=""
   system "growlnotify -n autotest --image #{img} -p #{pri} -m
#{msg.inspect} #{title} #{sticky}"
 end

 def self.growl_fail(output)
   growl "FAIL", "#{output}",
"#{AUTOTEST_IMAGE_ROOT}/fail.png", 2
 end

 def self.growl_pass(output)
   growl "Pass", "#{output}",
"#{AUTOTEST_IMAGE_ROOT}/pass.png"
 end

 Autotest.add_hook :ran_command do |at|

   results = [at.results].flatten.join("\n")

   if results.include? ''tests''
     output =
results.slice(/(\d+)\s+tests?,\s*(\d+)\s+assertions?,\s*(\d+)\s+failures?(,\s*(\d+)\s+errors)?/)
     if output
       $~[3].to_i + $~[5].to_i > 0 ? growl_fail(output) : growl_pass(output)
     end
   else
     output =
results.slice(/(\d+)\s+examples?,\s*(\d+)\s+failures?(,\s*(\d+)\s+not
implemented)?/)
     if output
       $~[2].to_i > 0 ? growl_fail(output) : growl_pass(output)
     end
   end
 end

end

I don''t know about your particular problem, but since you''re
on OS X I
recommend using RSpactor instead.  The app itself just works better, and
growl notifications work great out of the box.

Have you gotten rspactor to work with only specific directories?  I''d  
like to run rspactor only in spec/unit, but can''t seem to find any  
documentation on it.

Also - why does it only work on OS X.5?

Because it relies on the File System Events API which was introduced in 10.5.

This was designed for TimeMachine, right?
