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. Requirements ============ * Ruby 1.6+, JRuby 1.1.2+, or rubinius * Test::Unit or miniunit * rubygems * diff.exe on windoze. Try http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html Install ======= It is recommended to uninstall ZenTest first, otherwise I do not know what happens... sudo gem uninstall ZenTest You can install it from github, but then many solutions that build on autotest will fail unless you use `require 'grosser-autotest'`: sudo gem install grosser-autotest -s http://gems.github.com It may be better to install it from source: git clone git://github.com/grosser/autotest.git cd autotest rake install Setup ===== ###Options -f do not run all tests when starting -c do not rerun all tests after all failed tests pass TODO there are more... TODO ==== - add documentation for hooks / flags - remove globals - cleanup bin/autotest Dir hacks / passing of globals - cleanup bin/unit_diff - add gnome notification library License ======= ###This is only ripped from ZenTest Ripper: [Michael Grosser](http://pragmatig.wordpress.com) ### ZenTest Authors - http://www.zenspider.com/ZSS/Products/ZenTest/ - http://rubyforge.org/projects/zentest/ - ryand-ruby@zenspider.com (The MIT License) Copyright (c) 2001-2006 Ryan Davis, Eric Hodel, Zen Spider Software Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
