how to tell autotest to correctly track changes in app source?

Answer 1

I just changed my autotest to:

Autotest.add_hook :initialize do |at|
  at.add_mapping(%r%^spec/acceptance/.*_spec.rb$%, true) { |filename, _|
    filename
  }

  at.add_mapping(%r%^app/(models|controllers|helpers|lib)/.*rb$%, true) {
    at.files_matching %r%^spec/acceptance/.*_spec.rb$%
  }

  at.add_mapping(%r%^app/views/(.*)$%, true) {
    at.files_matching %r%^spec/acceptance/.*_spec.rb$%
  }
end

And this is working but I don't know the collateral effects of invoking acceptance tests before others (the true flag on add_mapping)
