similar to: Using rspec in a non-rails project w/ autotest

Josh Knowles http://joshknowles.com/ just let me know that ZenTest Autotest 3.50 now handles your RSpec specs. http://blog.zenspider.com/archives/2007/04/zentest_version_350_has_been_released.html That''s a great news. Josh also shared with me a quick hack to make autotest work with only the RSpec plugin installed. Add the following into your ~/.autotest file

I believe for rails projects you can put rspec''s code repos into vendor/plugins, and autotest will automatically use the rspec binary in that directory, and not the gem installed. Is there an easy way to do this for non-rails projects? There are a few advancements on trunk which I would like to take advantage of. Tips welcome ; ). Scott Taylor

Is anyone using rspec with autotest? Scott

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

My autotest runs but when I make changes to a spec it doesn''t reload. I checked another application I was building that had 1.0.9 but it was reloading fine. How would I debug a problem such as autotest not reloading? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

How can I spec out a rake task? How can I use rake in my spec''s? I want to fix this rake spec:autotest bug with --drb and --color. How can I get rake output? How would I get out of autotest? My initial thought is just to run the command in the spec. Scott

Am I correct in remembering that autotest (with Test::Unit) would rerun all the tests if a subset of the tests passed? If so, shouldn''t this behaviour also be present in rspec''s autotest library? Scott

Autotest is running continuously - even when the files mtimes aren''t changing. I believe this only happens if using a failures file. autotest -v gives me: euclid% autotest -v loading autotest/rails_rspec /opt/local/bin/ruby -S script/spec -O spec/spec.opts spec/ controllers/log_entries_controller_spec.rb spec/views/login/ new_spec.rb spec/controllers/login_controller_spec.rb

If you want to use rspec-0.9.2 with autotest (ZenTest-3.5.2), you''ll want to read this blog: http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/articles/2007/05/01/rspec-0-9-1-and-autotest-zentest-3-5-2 Enjoy! David

Hi guys, I''m trying to find some information on how to get autotest to run the rspec2 tests. I have my project setup so "rake spec" runs the specs properly, but autotest seems to ignore/don''t know that there are specs to test. I read on the rspec2 wiki that autotest integration is o be added eventually. Any ideas on how to achieve this? Thanks, Jeroen

Hello, I''ve been trying to google the definitive way to combine autotest, rspec, and spec-server, but to no avail. It seems like there are lots of suggestions from old versions. Furthermore, some commands such as rake:autotest don''t seem to be around anymore. So, is it required to install ZenTest as a gem? I have version 3.9.1. I believe this gets me the autotest

I''ve read about integrating Growl with Autotest/RSpec to display test results. For cygwin users - here is a snippet that will play a sound after autotest runs. Add the code below to your ~/.autotest file. Modify the path of the .wav file to the sounds you want to play on your system.

Hi all, I tried testing with Rspec for first time, following a tutorial. "rspec spec/" works fine but when I try ''autotest'' it gives me the error message below. I also made a gist about it: https://gist.github.com/779265 It seems like a redgreen or ZenTest error. I''m using Ubuntu10, Rails3, Ruby 1.9 and RVM. Any help is appriciated, thanks in advance, gezope

I have the following code, which yields instance eval''s the block given: class Foo def bar(&blk) instance_eval &blk end def baz yield end end The effect of this is that self is reassigned: Foo.new.bar do # here, self is the instance of Foo # created by new end But normally self is the object in which Foo.new.bar {...} occurs. Foo.new.baz do

Hello all, I''m new to rSpec but after reading a couple of tutorials I''ve become enamored. Anyway, I am at minute 42 of the rSpec basics screencast ( peepcode.com) and I''m having the following error running autotest w/rSpec: D:\ruby\projects\forecaster>autotest loading autotest/rails_rspec c:\ruby\bin\ruby -rrubygems -e "require ''redgreen''"

Hi We have a Rails project using an engine which I want to run autotest with rspec against. So the project specific specs are in the specs directory but the common specs are in the specs directory of the engine plugin (e.g. vendor/plugin/engine/specs) Just wondering where I would be looking to change configuration so that autotest will also look for the specs in the engine directory?

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 [1]

This applies to anyone using rspec''s trunk from >= 3220 with ZenTest <= 3.7.2. Anyone else, feel free to move on.... The next release of ZenTest, coming soon, includes some changes that improve the relationship between Autotest, it''s subclasses (like those in rspec) and .autotest, the file that you can use to plug into autotest''s hooks to extend/modify

autotest (zentest 3.5.0) + rspec 1.1.1 ask for "spec_autotest.rb", nowhere to be found... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rspec-users/attachments/20071219/d560dfed/attachment.html

(WinXP) Hi, I have the autotest rails plugin running - detecting changes and running the examples. However the rspec color output (of which I am a fan) ... has stopped happening Anybody got a spare moment to point me in the right direction, please ?
