ZenTest version 3.9.0 has been released! - [http://www.zenspider.com/ZSS/Products/ZenTest/](http://www.zenspider.com/ZSS/Products/ZenTest/) - [http://rubyforge.org/projects/zentest/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/zentest/) - [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) 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: - [http://www.zenspider.com/ZSS/Products/ZenTest/](http://www.zenspider.com/ZSS/Products/ZenTest/) - [http://rubyforge.org/projects/zentest/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/zentest/) - [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---

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. James ---

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. James ---

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. James
