Shoulda, Rails Tests , and Autotest

Question

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 all pass. When I run autotest, nothing happens. I've barely found any information on how autotest works, and only brief mentions of a special file '.autotest' that's supposed to do something other than hold the requires for growl and redgreen.

I'm coming from a CruiseControl background here... but it seems like things should be way more apparent. Does anybody have experience running Rails' native tests along with Shoulda and Autotest?

Update|Resolved apparently the discover.rb file in seed-fu was making autotest think it was testing for RSpec, not Test::Unit.

Answer 1

A plugin I'm using, seed-fu, had a discover.rb to 'help' autotest. In my case though it made autotest think I was running RSpec and everything else broke.
