For the life of me, I can’t get autotest to work. I should note that
I am not using RVM, because I couldn’t get it to work. I’m doing my
development in VirtualBox so I can seamlessly switch from one setup to
another.
I’m going through chapter 3 at railstutorial.org (http://
ruby.railstutorial.org/chapters/static-pages#sec:first_tests), and I
can’t get autotest to work.
As the instructions say, I gem installed autotest -v 4.4.6, autotest-
rails-pure -v 4.1.2, ZenTest, and redgreen and git removed spec/views
and spec/helpers. I used apt-get to install libnotify-bin.
I created the ~/.autotest file and downloaded the images to
~/.autotest_images as instructed at
http://automate-everything.com/2009/08/gnome-and-autospec-notifications/
.
But no matter what I do, entering “bundle exec rspec spec/” gives me a
LONG error message:
