ZenTest version 3.3.0 has been released! [zentest | software projects | by ryan davis](http://www.zenspider.com/ZSS/Products/ZenTest/) [http://blog.zenspider.com/archives/zentest/](http://blog.zenspider.com/archives/zentest/) == DESCRIPTION ZenTest provides 4 different tools and 1 library: zentest, unit\_diff, autotest, multiruby, and Test::Rails. ZenTest scans your target and unit-test code and writes your missing code based on simple naming rules, enabling XP at a much quicker pace. ZenTest only works with Ruby and Test::Unit. unit\_diff is a command-line filter to diff expected results from actual results and allow you to quickly see exactly what is wrong. autotest is a continous testing facility meant to be used during development. As soon as you save a file, autotest will run the corresponding dependent tests. multiruby runs anything you want on multiple versions of ruby. Great for compatibility checking! Test::Rails helps you build industrial-strength Rails code. == FEATURES - Scans your ruby code and tests and generates missing methods for you. - Includes a very helpful filter for Test::Unit output called unit\_diff. - Continually and intelligently test only those files you change with autotest. - Test against multiple versions with multiruby. - Enhance and automatically audit your rails tests using Test::Rails. - Includes a LinuxJournal article on testing with ZenTest written by Pat Eyler. - See also: [http://blog.zenspider.com/archives/zentest/](http://blog.zenspider.com/archives/zentest/) - See also: [http://blog.segment7.net/articles/category/zentest](http://blog.segment7.net/articles/category/zentest) Changes: - 1 major enhancement: - 5 minor enhancement: - 7 bug fixes: ---

Hi Ryan! Just a friendly advise: if I am visiting [1] and the first read: > [@](#): > > ZenTest version 3.3.0 (aka Project Doesn’t Suck) has been released! I may appreciate your honesty, and your sense of humor, but will somehow make me think if I really want to play with it :-]. Hope there to be no offense, ## ./alex .w( the\_mindstorm )p.

Say, how do I get the Rails view tests to be ran by the default rake task? autotest runs the view tests, but running ‘rake tests’ doesn’t run the view tests. Joe ---
