How autotest in rails can run integration tests?

Question

I have this in .autotest:

Autotest.add_hook :initialize do |autotest|
  autotest.add_mapping(/^spec\/requests\/.*_spec\.rb$/) do
    autotest.files_matching(/^spec\/requests\/.*_spec\.rb$/)
  end  
end

when I run autotest it initially runs all unit and integration (\requests) tests. Then when I change a file it runs only its unit tests and not the integrations.

any idea?

Answer 1

You need to install and require the fsevent gem.

So:

sudo gem install autotest-fsevent

Or just gem install depending if you are using RVM

Then in your .autotest put the following require:

require 'autotest/fsevent'

You should also insure that it isn't running the whole test suite by going into the window/tab that is running autotest and hit ctrl-c once. That will restart your autotest and run all the tests that autotest is covering. I have found that autotest runs the most recent spec first then all the tests.

Hope this helps!
