Comments on: Installing GrowlNotify and Autotest for BDD use with Rspec on Leopard http://blog.aisleten.com/2008/02/21/installing-growlnotify-and-autotest-for-bdd-use-with-rspec-on-leopard/ Late nights eventually pay off Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:05:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Ed Moss http://blog.aisleten.com/2008/02/21/installing-growlnotify-and-autotest-for-bdd-use-with-rspec-on-leopard/#comment-2738 Ed Moss Tue, 26 May 2009 23:27:16 +0000 http://blog.aisleten.com/2008/02/21/installing-growlnotify-and-autotest-for-bdd-use-with-rspec-on-leopard/#comment-2738 FYI, I don't recommend including 'vendor' in your .autotest file. Why? Well if you have a vendor.rb model - vendors table in your db - it will miss your unit test. Yes, I found out the hard way. Also, in finding out the hard way, I noticed that the vendor folder is already skipped properly. Here is my exception block (with some additional ignores for other gems I use): %w{.svn .hg .git .sass-cache .DS_Store .braids}.each {|exception| at.add_exception(exception)} If you want confirmation that 'vendor' is already ignroed, look in your Zentest gem folder, file rails.rb: add_exception %r%^\./(?:db|doc|log|public|script|tmp|vendor)% which when used in autotest.rb here: Find.prune if f =~ self.exceptions looks like this: /(?-mix:^\.\/(?:db|doc|log|public|script|tmp|vendor))|\.svn|\.hg|\.git/ Hope this makes sense.

If you want confirmation that ‘vendor’ is already ignroed, look in your Zentest gem folder, file rails.rb:

add_exception %r%^\./(?:db|doc|log|public|script|tmp|vendor)%

which when used in autotest.rb here:

Find.prune if f =~ self.exceptions

looks like this:

/(?-mix:^\.\/(?:db|doc|log|public|script|tmp|vendor))|\.svn|\.hg|\.git/

Hope this makes sense.

You can use the -e switch to display the extended permissions.

It works like a charm. Maybe there is too much configuration (by too much I mean installing growlnotify) but rest is OK. Cheers! Muchos kudos for the tip! It works like a charm.

I'll pass it along to my friends. One small hiccup. The double-quotes in the regex are actually smart quotes and trip up the regex parser. Instead of: output = filtered.empty? ? “” replace the quotes and get this instead output = filtered.empty? ? "" (Hopefully my straight quotes didn't get parsed out.) Awesome tip thanks!
