Fwd: spec_server not working

Testing RSpec
1

I can’t seem to get spec_server to work correctly (I’ve never used it
before, so maybe I’m missing something?)

I start up spec_server as prescribed:
mdarby@macbook:~/Documents/apps/CCW: rake spec:server:start
(in /Users/mdarby/Documents/Apps/CCW)
Starting up spec server.
Loading Rails environment
Ready
spec_server launched. (PID: 31387)

Then I try to run a spec and it times out after about thirty seconds:
mdarby@macbook:~/Documents/apps/CCW: ./script/spec --drb spec/models/
job_spec.rb
No server is running

Gems installed:

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Try running ‘spec’ (presuming it’s in your path). I had problems running
‘script/spec’ with version 1.1.9. I don’t know if that will help, but
it’s
worth a shot.

For my money, spec_server is the most useful part of Rails programming
that
very few people use (TextMate is the opposite).

Same thing unfortunately. It also happens when I add --drb to spec/
spec.opts and run autotest/autospec as well.

G’day Matt. This probably won’t be of much help, but I’ve never been
able to run my specs against spec_server. I always get this error:

/opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:852:in `initialize’: getaddrinfo:
nodename nor servname provided, or not known (SocketError)

Cheers,
Nick

FWIW, I’ve never gotten autotest to work with --drb, either.

Hrm… So… anyone? It seems like this should be kind of straight
forward :frowning:

This is the same error that I get also. I’d love to get this working,
