Autotest Mac

SPLITUP:

Following the feedback from ZenTest devs and users, I’ve split autotest-mac into two separate gems:

autotest-fsevent

This gem teaches autotest to use FSEvent instead of filesystem polling.

autotest-growl

Growl support bundled with ZenTest is scheduled to be removed in favor of this gem which comes with more features and nice icons.

REMOVED:

One feature didn’t make it in neither of the two new gems.

Path Exceptions

Adding path exceptions to the gem wasn’t such a good idea to begin with. It’s better if you set them yourself and according to your needs in ~/.autotest. Here is an example:

  Autotest.add_hook :initialize do |autotest|
    %w{.git .svn .hg .DS_Store ._* vendor}.each {|exception| autotest.add_exception(exception) }
    false
  end

UNINSTALL:

First uninstall the deprecated autotest-mac:

  sudo gem uninstall autotest-mac

And remove the following line from your ~/.autotest:

  require 'autotest-mac'

Then install it’s offspring as described in the READMEs:

• autotest-fsevent: github.com/svoop/autotest-fsevent/tree/master
• autotest-growl: github.com/svoop/autotest-growl/tree/master

And optionally except some paths as mentioned above.
