ZenTest 3.9.0 Released

Ruby
1

ZenTest version 3.9.0 has been released!

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.

Changes:

3.9.0 / 2008-01-30

  • 15 minor enhancements:

    • Added Wilson’s patch to allow unit_diff to work with mspec.
      Adding rspec next.
    • Minor overhaul for autotest:
      • Added -f flag to start up without testing.
      • Added -q flag to autotest to make it extra quiet. Patch by
        Aaron P…
      • Added ability to set test execution order, defaults to :random.
        EVIL!
      • Added completed_re and failed_results_re to help subclasses
        like rspec.
      • Added deprecation warnings for hooks. Deprecated :run.
      • Added find_directories accessor, defaults to [‘.’]
      • Added sleep accessor, defaults to 1 second.
      • Changed find_files to order files in the same order as
        find_directories.
      • Changed how autodiscover works with $:, added lib to the front.
      • Cleaned out nearly every @ and use accessor methods instead.
        You should too.
      • Made test_mappings ordered.
      • Removed @files, adding @find_order and @known_files.
      • Renamed tests_for_file to test_files_for.
      • test_files_for now only returns known files.

I forgot to add: IF YOU USE RSPEC WITH AUTOTEST there are enough
changes in here that you should wait for rspec’s next release (RSN–
I’ve been coordinating with David on this one).

Did you guys change how you quit autotest in 3.9.0? I’m CTRL-C’ing
until
the cows come home and it doesn’t seem to want to die.

Then you have something bad in your .autotest.

Is anyone getting a massive memory leak when running autotest with the
newly released Rspec 1.1.3? I upgraded both ZenTest and Rspec gems
this morning, and since then, both myself and my officemate have not
been able to run autotest for more than a couple minutes before
physical and virtual memory rockets to over 1GB. We’re both on OS X
Leopard.

Anybody else have this problem today?

Indeed. I took your advice and found that by requiring
‘autotest/screen’
the problems began. I’ll poke around in there later this week to see if
I
can find the culprit code.

Yeah. that’d be me… I’m a tard.

I saw it only once late last night and didn’t have the brains to
debug. It also wasn’t showing up in the main thing I was working in
(zentest has a small set of files, rubinius does NOT–again, no brain).

It is patched up and fixed in 3.9.1.

I’m having a problem to, unrelated to my previous problem. ZenTest is
just
beating the snot out of my machine.
