Thanks for the post! This worked great for my non-Rails project that has a custom directory structure (code is in lib/ while tests are either in test/unit or test/functional – and all tests look like foo_test.rb).

I just had to do a tiny bit of tweaking (to @test_mapping) and your code worked perfectly on ZenTest 3.10.0.

That said, if there is another more standard way to achieve this without patching Autotest classes (perhaps via .autotest), I’d love to know about it.

“I started going through withdrawal last night while I was working on a Ruby library because autotest doesn’t work out of the box with plain ol’ Ruby projects.”

Huh?!? Yes it does. I use it on ALL of my projects, almost all without a .autotest file.

Everything you have in the code example is unnecessary. (and probably broken against the latest autotest).

Ummmm I am a beginner ( actually just reading more about it ) and this doesnt really make sense for me. Can I have a sort of references for this, maybe some other examples ?

Thanks

I just run autotest inside brand new Ruby projects w/ nothing but lib and spec directories. It just works.

Tammer,

No, you put those files inside your project, not your ~/.autotest file.

Theoretically, you could put them in your autotest file, but you’d have to modify it a bit:

Autotest.add_discovery do
  "testunit" if !File.exist? 'config/environment.rb' &&
    File.exist? 'test'
end

That will only add the testunit support if the project has a test directory and it doesn’t have config/environment.rb.

Won’t think break autotest for rails projects? Do you change your ~/.autotest/ files when you switch between the different projects?
