Example chimp command line: $ chimp --watch --watchSource=<meteor-app-root> --screenshotsOnError=true --ddp=http://localhost:3000

When running the above, chimp will go into a loop and continue to rerun all tests because it detects that screenshots are being added to <meteor-app-root>/tests/cucumber/.

More or less thinking this through out loud. The best way to prevent may be to set a path for screenshots outside of the app source tree. An alternative is to run chimp without --watch mode.

Another option is to ignore png files in tests folders when watching.

Thoughts? thanks!

Sorry I missed this! You can set the screenshotsPath for sure. I really need to get the --help done :)

it would be a wise thing for us to do as well to ignore the screenshots produced when the are in the same dir, but it's not urgent I guess
