Question

This is a new macbook with Lion OS (version 10.7.2). I have configured it with my rails application.

I have couple of tabs opened running, rails app, spark, autotest -f, rails server

Here are the contents of .autotest file

require 'autotest/growl' 

Autotest::Growl::image_dir = 'ampelmaennchen'

Autotest::Growl::one_notification_per_run = true



Autotest::Growl::custom_options = '-w'

Everything works fine, but the same notification keep on popping, when i run auto test.

Note: I commented out contents of .autotest file & new growl has stopped.
When i look at the autotest -f terminal, It keeps on running. So here lies the real problem.

Changed gem file

group :test do
  gem 'rb-fsevent'
  gem 'spork', '0.8.4'
  gem 'guard'
  gem 'guard-rspec'
  gem 'guard-spork'
end

group :development, :test do
  gem 'rspec-rails'
  gem 'growl'
end

Answer 1

Growl is doing what its asked to do. The error lies somewhere with autotest configuration.

Autotest keep on running the tests after fixed intervals, so it pushes the growl to issue notifications.
