= Test Notifier
Inspired by http://railstips.org/2007/7/23/autotest-growl-pass-fail-notifications
After using Growl notification, I decided to write my own plugin because I have
to work on Ubuntu and Mac OS X and I missed the notification on my Linux box.
This plugin works with Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. All you need to do is
install the specific notification library for your OS.
Instead of displaying lots of notifications for each failure, I prefer to be
notified about the whole test result (you'll have to check your log
file anyway in order to clean up the failures/errors).
== Installation
=== Mac OS X
* Install Growl - http://growl.info/
* Install the growlnotify script located on the "Extras" directory
* Open the Growl Preference Page (System > Growl) and activate the options "Listen for incoming notifications" and "Allow remote application registration" on the Network tab.
=== Linux
If you're a linux guy, you can choose on of these methods:
* Install libnotify-bin and its dependencies: sudo aptitude install libnotify-bin
* Install xosd-bin: sudo aptitude install xosd-bin
* KDE users don't need to install anything: Test Notifier will use +knotify+.
=== Windows
* Install Snarl: download from http://www.fullphat.net
* Install ruby-snarl: gem install ruby-snarl
=== All
Then, install the gem with sudo gem install test_notifier
== Usage
If you're using Test::Unit you should add require "test_notifier/test_unit"
If you're using RSpec you should add require "test_notifier/rspec"
If you're using Autotest you should add require test_notifier/autotest" to
the file ~/.autotest
If you want to customize the images, create a directory at ~/.test_notifier
and save the images none.png, passed.png, failure.png and error.png.
