Autotest & rspec2

Testing RSpec
1

Hi guys,

I’m trying to find some information on how to get autotest to run the
rspec2 tests. I have my project setup so “rake spec” runs the specs
properly, but autotest seems to ignore/don’t know that there are specs
to test.

I read on the rspec2 wiki that autotest integration is o be added
eventually. Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Thanks,
Jeroen

I just pushed preliminary autotest support to github:

I’ll release beta.4 today or tomorrow with this support.

Note that there will not be an autospec command for rspec-2. All that
autospec does is sets an environment variable and creates confusion :slight_smile:
Per the commit message, you just need to add an autotest/discover.rb
file in your project with:

Autotest.add_discovery { “rspec2” }

This may change to just { “rspec” } before rspec-2 goes final, but
“rspec2” will work for now.

Cheers,
David
