Solution for autospec not working

sutch · October 10, 2008, 6:17am

Hello,

I have noticed that, since version 1.1.4, autotest/autospec does not run
any
of my specs. After getting a hint from
http://b.logi.cx/2008/10/9/non-auto-spec, I dove a bit deeper into the
code
and found that spec is no longer being run by ruby.

I monkey-patched Autotest::Rspec in my .autotest file so that spec is
again
executed (using code taken from version 1.1.4). autospec is now working
for
me. Applicable code from my .autotest file: http://pastie.org/289183

github shows that the spec_command was removed on 7/12, with the
comment: “removed
spec_command from autotest/rspec (ruby works just fine)”. See:

Does autospec work for anyone? Does this issue only affect those of us
using Windows?

Works here:

My setup is similar, except I’m developing a Ruby script as opposed to a
Rails applications, thus no script/about output:

C:\Users\Dennis>ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]

C:\Users\Dennis>spec -v
rspec 1.1.8

Luis,
As you suggested, I created the mappings and autotest is now working as
expected. Thank you for your help.

Yes, Luis. Thank you, as always!

I had the same problem while developming my scripts.

RSpec changed the way paths get loaded by autotest, so I’ll suggest
you create a mappins in your .autotest file similar to the one from
rspec-rails, since seems the one in rspec no longer “maps” properly:

github.com

dchelimsky/rspec/blob/master/lib/autotest/rspec.rb#L3-16


      
          require 'autotest'
          
          
Autotest.add_hook :initialize do |at|
            at.clear_mappings
            # watch out for Ruby bug (1.8.6): %r(/) != /\//
            at.add_mapping(%r%^spec/.*_spec\.rb$%) { |filename, _|
              filename
            }
            at.add_mapping(%r%^lib/(.*)\.rb$%) { |_, m|
              ["spec/#{m[1]}_spec.rb"]
            }
            at.add_mapping(%r%^spec/(spec_helper|shared/.*)\.rb$%) {
              at.files_matching %r%^spec/.*_spec\.rb$%

I cannot find my customized version (for a console based MVC, it’s on
backup now).

Or maybe I’m missing the need to set AUTOTEST and RSPEC env variables
first?
