Make it work with ZenTest autotest #16

Closed bartaz closed 15 years ago

bartaz commented 15 years ago

Blue-Ridge does a great job with testing JavaScript (even from command line) but it would be awesome if it would work with ZenTest's autotest, so the tests will automatically re-run when .js files will be edited. Is it possible?

jasonrudolph commented 15 years ago

We don't have any immediate plans to add this feature, but I agree that this type of functionality would be nice to have.

If/when we do add this kind of functionality, it's more likely that we'll add support for beholder. We'd welcome a patch that provides ZenTest autotest support, but we use beholder, so it's unlikely that we'd build ZenTest autotest support for ourselves.

You could try using rstakeout to trigger "rake test:js TEST=..." if any files change

@jasonrudolph - what is your setup for beholder? Perhaps put this in a wiki page?

jasonrudolph commented 15 years ago

@drnic - We don't use beholder for Blue Ridge yet. If/when we do use beholder with Blue Ridge, we'll be sure to add some docs so that others can do the same.

@drnic - Thanks for a tip, I tried rstakeout and it works like a charm! I even got it giving me nice notifications when tests fail or pass.

@drnic & @bartaz: could someone send me a quick write-up of how you're using rstakeout with BlueRidge?
