How to run specs AND tests with autotest

Testing RSpec
1

Hi All

I’m using test/unit on a project, at the client’s insistence, but I’m
also using rspec stories for integration testing. I notice that as
soon as I install rspec and rspec-rails plugins, autotest no longer
finds my test/unit tests - it just runs specs. Is there a way to make
autotest run both specs and test/unit tests?

I’ve had a look at the autotest code, and it looks as if it should be
possible to do this with clever use of discover.rb files. But,
unfortunately, I’m not clever enough to figure out how!

FYI, ZenTest is version 3.10.0, Rails is 2.1.0, rspec and rspec-rails
are git clones from the github repo as at 2008-07-03.

Thanks in advance

David

Any chance you have an rspec gem installed too? If so and you don’t
need it, get rid of it. If so and you do need it, grab the latest
rspec/rspec-rails plugins and cd into the rspec directory and do this:

rake gem
rake install_gem

That’ll get you a gem based on the latest code which does not
interfere w/ the autotest command at all (we added an autospec command
for running specs).

Cheers,
David

Yes, that was it. Getting rid of my rspec gem did the trick.

Many thanks
