Why has the --color gone from my life?

Hi all,
Running on OSX 10.5.3, Latest Rspec trunk, Rspec rails trunk, latest
autotest gem and rails 2.1

I’ve lost my colour output in autotest.

rake spec gives colour output, but autotest gives me black and white.

It was working a little bit before, I think I upgraded to the latest
versions of everything to get all the textmate snippets talking and
being
friendly to one another again after I upgraded Ruby from the shipped 111
patch level to 114.

Not mission critical, but annoying :slight_smile:

I mean… without it, you can only aim for “All specs grey!” which
doesn’t
quite sound as good.

Anyone have any pointers?

Mikel

This was an error, but I thought it was corrected by D. Chelimsky.

That is correct - at least temporarily - there is a conflict with how
rspec and autotest output to a terminal that makes it challenging for
rspec to color code terminal output while not including the color code
chars in html output.

If anybody is interested in helping to solve that, check out

This was fixed up updating to trunk:
3b76fda…befd422 master → origin/master

I now get colour, thanks all!

Looks like I have the same problem now. Created a new rails app
(2.1.0), and using the install instructions on the github wiki, leaves
me with an autotest (ZenTest version 3.10.0) running autotest/rails
instead of autotest/rails_rspec as some of my older projects do.
When I copy vendor/plugins/rspec-rails/lib/autotest/rails_rspec.rb to
~/.autotest, autotest runs with:

/opt/local/bin/ruby -I.:lib:test -rtest/unit -e “%w[spec/controllers/
foos_routing_spec.rb spec/views/foos/index.html.erb_spec.rb spec/
helpers/foos_helper_spec.rb spec/models/foo_spec.rb spec/views/foos/
new.html.erb_spec.rb spec/views/foos/show.html.erb_spec.rb spec/views/
foos/edit.html.erb_spec.rb spec/controllers/
foos_controller_spec.rb].each { |f| require f }” | unit_diff -u

giving me grey specs.

So, without an .autotest, nothing at all happens. Running autotest -v
gives, among all the .git files even Dunno! app/controllers/
application.rb!
With rspec-rails’ autotest, it runs with -r test/unit.

Weird stuff, hopefully someone makes sense of this al.

Try doing this:

cd vendor/plugins/rspec
rake gem
rake install_gem
rake clobber
cd …/…/…/
autospec

Since you’re using edge, autospec is the new command to run autotest
with rspec.

Just trying whatever I could think of :).

with rspec.
Okay, thanks. Might be worth it to actually write this somewhere down,
such as on the wiki?
This is nowhere to be found.

Just added ‘script/autospec’ (in rspec-rails) too -
