Any way to have a different SOUND from growl for a 'pass' rather than a 'fail' when using "./script/

Testing RSpec

Hi,

Is there any way to have a different SOUND from growl for a ‘pass’
rather than a ‘fail’ when using “./script/autospec” ???

thanks

I’m not sure what platform you’re on, or if this is what you’re after,
but
the .autospec I use on the Mac uses the built in speech stuff to say
what
happens at the end of an autotest run. So, it tells me things like “all
tests passed”, or “tests passed” (depends on whether or not it ran the
full
suite, or just a changed file/spec), “some pending”, and of course
fails. I
use different voices depending on the results :slight_smile:

I’m on Mac too - so it may be as simple as changing the Growl
Preferences to get this working then?
(assuming I’m using vanilla Rspec gem).

I’ve also customised (copy/pasted from a recommendation) my
~/.autotest file. Is this an issue? Does this file actually get
used now I’m using RSpec and “./script/autospec” (as opposed to just
using ZenTest’s autotest)?

end

def self.growl_fail(output)

puts “GREGS: growl FAIL, #{output}”

growl “FAIL”, “#{output}”, “#{AUTOTEST_IMAGE_ROOT}/fail.png”, 2
end

def self.growl_pass(output)

puts “GREGS: growl_pass PASS, #{output}”

growl “Pass”, “#{output}”, “#{AUTOTEST_IMAGE_ROOT}/pass.png”
end

Autotest.add_hook :ran_command do |at|

results = [at.results].flatten.join(“\n”)

if results.include? ‘tests’
output =
results.slice(/(\d+)\s+tests?,\s*(\d+)\s+assertions?,\s*(\d+)\s+failures?(,\s*(\d+)\s+errors)?/)
if output
$~[3].to_i + $~[5].to_i > 0 ? growl_fail(output) :
growl_pass(output)
end
else
output =
results.slice(/(\d+)\s+examples?,\s*(\d+)\s+failures?(,\s*(\d+)\s+not
implemented)?/)
if output
$~[2].to_i > 0 ? growl_fail(output) : growl_pass(output)
end
end
end

end

One easy way is to use qp - a command line utility for playing
QuickTIme sounds. It’s been removed from it’s original home, but you
can get it from the wayback machine:

go to Internet Archive: Digital Library of Free & Borrowable Books, Movies, Music & Wayback Machine

and search for: http://www.ed.com/qp/QP.dmg.gz

then you can use qp in the script to play a sound file based on the
event.

thanks Chris - the help in .autospec · GitHub worked great
