Hi all,

I just discovered a nifty gem call ZenTest. I’ve just stated playing  
around with the autotest command, which seem very cool and looks like  
a nice time saver.

But, I did notice one very minor thing. When I use ^c to stop the  
program I get the following error message:

^CInterrupt a second time to quit  
^C/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ZenTest-3.4.3/lib/autotest.rb:  
131:in `initialize': wrong number of arguments (0 for 1) (ArgumentError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ZenTest-3.4.3/lib/ autotest.rb:131:in`exception’

autotest:45  
from /usr/local/bin/autotest:16:in `load’  
from /usr/local/bin/autotest:16

Anyone know if this is a bug or am I exiting the program improperly?

Thanks once again to the great Ruby community for coming up with such  
cool stuff.  
Robert

So does anyone have any ideas about this?

Hitting Ctrl-C should interrupt autotest and run all the tests from the  
top (not just what you’ve just changed). Hitting Ctrl-C twice, should  
exit autotest entirely. Are you seeing some other behaviour?

The only other behavior I’m seeing that the attached errors displayed  
in the terminal window when hitting ^C the second time. It exits  
fine, just not cleanly.
