Head On

I am getting all parts of my Rails development environment settled. In addition to vanilla Rails, I am currently using RSpec, Selenium and Autotest. I am seriously considering Haml and Sass as well.

When googling arounf to learn more about Autotest, I realized that people are using together with Growl. It works out-of-the-box with Test::Unit, but RSpec needs a little tweaking. I took the basics from here and modified to my liking. The following is what my .autotest looks like.

 
module Autotest::Growl
  def self.growl title, msg, img, pri=0, stick=""
    system "growlnotify -n autotest --image #{img} -p #{pri} -m #{msg.inspect} #{title} #{stick}"
  end
 
  Autotest.add_hook :ran_command do |at|
    puts "at: '#{at.results}'"
    output = at.results.slice(/(\d+)\s.*specifications?,\s(\d+)\s.*failures?/)
    puts "out: #{output}"
    if output =~ /[1-9]\sfailures?/
      growl "Test Results", "#{output}", '~/Library/autotest/rails_fail.png', 2 #, "-s" 
    else
      growl "Test Results", "#{output}", '~/Library/autotest/rails_ok.png'
    end
  end
end
