Just listened to jimmy on hanselminutes (yeah I know it was a week or 2 ago, I’m catching up on podcasts) talking about IronRuby. Congrats on a job well done. Hopefully that will get some more people interested in IR 🙂 ---

autospec (part of ZenTest gem) does not work for me with Ironruby. Is this a known issue? I am using a relatively simple example that works fine on ubuntu with traditional ruby. I’m using 1.0RC1 (version number on the assembly is out of date).

Thanks for the response. I have C:\ironruby\lib\ironruby\gems\1.8\bin\ in my path and can run spec commands fine. However, I followed the post anyway, and created iautospec, iautospec.bat, ispec, and ispec.bat in C:\ironruby\bin ispec runs fine as does spec, but autospec just returns to the command line.

Does autospec use END block? If so, you need the latest IronRuby build (from source code) where this feature is implemented.

hmm, I hacked my code base - [GitHub - BenHall/ironruby: Microsoft's Ruby language compiler that is built on top of the Dynamic Language Runtime.](http://github.com/BenHall/ironruby) Basically, autospec launches a sub-process in Kernal.cs - IronRuby doesn’t\didn’t support this. Pretty sure this was the reason. If not, let me know as I have it working on my local instance. Ben On Thu, Feb 4, 2010 at 10:26 PM, Tomas M. ---

Sorry, didn’t see that thread. In that case, ensure your .autotest file is setup correctly to detect spec files.
