People,

I’m trying to run autotest on rails 2.3

I get a NoMethodError.

Here is what I see:

I think that updating ZenTest (currently at 4.0) will solve this.

Cheers,

Yes,

4.0 was a good tip.

sh: growlnotify: command not found

I need to track down the growlnotify command.

But…
It looks like autotest is working!

Thanks!!

ok,

growlnotify was easy to install:

  • download the dmg
  • mount the dmg
  • run a script
  • /Volumes/Growl-1.1.4/Extras/growlnotify/install.sh
  • Test: /usr/local/bin/growlnotify -m “hello”
  • Look for a tiny gray pop-up in upper right hand corner
  • Oh I had to establish an env var to read the man page:
    -export MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/usr/local/man

I’m happy
