Awesome Dan! Now I have no more excuses on why a build failed cause I didn’t check my autotest window. :)

I made a minor change to your script so I can view my pending as well.

output = autotest.results.last.slice(/(\d+)\s.*examples?,\s(\d+)\s.*failures?,\s(\d+)\s.*pending?/)

[...] 1.0.8 is a new version, we decided to try again. So far it’s worked. So with a big thanks to Daniel Fischer, I’d like to write up [...]

Try this:

module Autotest::Growl
def self.growl title, msg, img, pri=0, stick=”"
system “growlnotify -n autotest –image #{img} -p #{pri} -m #{ msg.inspect} #{title} #{stick}”
end

Autotest.add_hook :ran_command do |autotest|
output = autotest.results.last.slice(/(\d+)\s.*examples?,\s(\d+)\s.*failures?/)
if output =~ /[1-9]\sfailures?/
growl “Test Results”, “#{output}”, “~/Library/autotest/rails_fail.png”, 2, “-s”
else
growl “Test Results”, “#{output}”, “~/Library/autotest/rails_ok.png”
end
end
end

Hey Dan,

i think there’s a mistake in the regular expression somewhere… I’m getting green when tests are failing. When I decipher the expression I’ll write you with the fix :)
