Q: 

Autospec does nothing when I run

I have failing tests that show up when I do a 'rake spec' or the like.

However when I run autospec it outputs the following then does nothing and returns me to the command prompt.

$ autospec

(Not running features. To run features in autotest, set AUTOFEATURE=true.) loading autotest/rails_rspec style: RailsRspec

How do I get autospec running?

The gems I have installed are:

autotest (4.3.2) autotest-growl (0.2.5) rspec (1.3.0) rspec-rails (1.3.2)

+1  A: 

I once solved this problem removing the test directory. Give it a try. Also run autospec -v to see which paths he is looking at.

Great feedback, unfortunatley in this case no 'test' directory.

Bummer. I did quite a search when I had this problem and I found some advices (though it didn't solve my problems), check them out: https://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/5645/tickets/689-autospec-fails-silently-without-zentest http://groups.google.com/group/rspec/browse_thread/thread/edf132f95bd3f4c7
