I've used ZenTest and autotest to work on Ruby projects before, and I used to using them for test-driven development a la this configuration. I have a project that I'm currently working on in Java, and I was wondering if there is something similar in the Java world to achieve the same effect. ...
I was wondering if anyone knows of any nice GUIs for autotest? I already know about all the plugins distributed with autotest (growl, knotify etc.), what I want is a little more. I would like a GUI that displays the total count of failed tests at all times. I would like the GUI to allow me to click through to the failing test (have t...
I've been using ZenTest to run all the tests in my Rails project for years and it's always been quite nippy. However, on my Mac it has suddenly started taking 3 times as long to run all the tests. We have 1219 tests and for the past year it would run all the tests in around 300 seconds on average. Now though, it's taking almost 900 se...
I'm trying to model my tests after the great work that the Thougtbot guys have done. They seem to use the test framework built into Rails Shoulda. Great. I have been hearing a lot about Autotest - that its magical-ness should make things easier.... I expected that things would 'just work' if I installed it. My rake test:units already a...
i changed my .autotest file to use with ruby based project. after that when i wanted to use it for rails it is using the .autotest configuration settings i used for ruby project. i uninstalled autotest and reinstalled it with no luck. i also removed .autotest file in root directory but it is not working. ...
Same question as waloeiii in twitter: How can I have autospec/test not run the full test suite after everything goes green? The next test I write will be red! I'd rather run the full test suite manually. By the way, I tried adding a failing spec: it "should flunk" do flunk end but autospec seems to ignore it when it fee...
What's the best practice for getting RSpec / Autotest going on a Rails project? I googled some stuff but it feels like it may be out of date. ...
I am adding a directory for services classes in my rails application: app/services I would like to add specs for these classes in the directory: spec/services I added a spec to spec/services, but running autospec does not run the example. Is there a way to configure autospec to run examples in new directories? Thanks. ...
I have a rails project that runs fine in development and production and the tests pass when I do a rake test but when I try to autotest it it fails with: Missing the Rails 2.3.3 gem. Please `gem install -v=2.3.3 rails`, blah blah Of course the rails gem is not missing and if I comment this line out, it complains about the rest of the ...
I'm using autospec and when all tests are passing, the green messages pops up just once, but when the tests are NOT passing, it remains popping up infinite red windows in growl. Does anybody knows how to turn this off and make autospec run just after I save my files? I have a .autotest file in my home with these contents: require 'aut...
I just started using AutoTest. As far as i can tell i have everything configured, but everytime i run autotest then i get the following error coming from my test_helper.rb: richards-macbook-pro: $ autotest loading autotest/rails /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby -I.:lib:test -rubygems -e "%w[test/unit...
I have a test in RSpec which compares to long text strings. When the test fails, I get a message like this: 'jobs partial should render the correct format for jobs' FAILED expected: "Job {\n\tName = \"name1-etc\"\n\tType = Backup\n\tMessages = Daemon\n\tPool = Default \n\tSchedule = \"schedule1\"\n\tStorage = storage1\n\tClient = \"name...
I am trying to add a hook in Autotest to trigger tests when javascript files are changed. Below the is the .autotest file I am using. The syntax seems to be correct, but nothing is happening when a javascript file is updated. The first hook works fine, the second does not. Autotest.add_hook :initialize do |at| at.add_mapping(%r%^s...
When I'm using autospec to test a non-Rails Ruby project, I always have trouble getting my tests to show up red or green. When I run a regular 'spec spec/ --color' command I get normal red/green responses. I've tried putting all sorts of commands in the .autotest file and I can't get that to work. Also, in my Rails projects, I don't ge...
I found example how to use on: http://www.claytonlz.com/index.php/2009/04/how-to-setup-rspec-cucumber-webrat-rcov-and-autotest-on-leopard/ but I try to find solution to put this all gems to gem.config (enviroment.rb) with using gemcutter gem repository (this is prefered gems repository now ?) Maybe some one have properly configured ge...
How do I manually specify which test/unit test files should be run when a non-test file gets updated? ...

I always run autospec to run features and RSpec at the same time, but running all the features is often time-consuming on my local computer. I would run every feature before committing code. I would like to pass the argument in autospec command. autospec doesn't obviously doesn't accept the arguments directly. Here's the output of autos...
After installing rspec/ZenTest and running autospec, it runs my specs the first time as expected. After making a change to one of my specs and upon running the second time I get the following results: /usr/bin/ruby1.8 /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.3.0/bin/spec --autospec /home/schambers/Projects/notebook/spec/models/user_spec.rb -...
Most of my work in a rails application is done with rails engines. When I develop new applications, it usually use a custom built cms. My CMS was inspired by refineryCMS in that there is a core that lives as a rails engine. Features that make up the application are other rails engines that register themselves with the core. For example t...
