Mac-friendly Autotest

by svoop —

Autotest is great, but it’s filesystem polling tortures your CPU, HD and battery. But fear not, there’s a solution for those on Mac OS X 10.5: The autotest-mac gem features support for the FSEvent core service, Growl and some eye candy.

I actually missed this yesterday, listening to the fan going crazy. However, when requiring autotest-mac in Ruby 1.9, all the tests run once, and autotest quits. Which kind of defeates the purpose…

Forgot to mention that: It’s only tested on Ruby 1.8.7 because autotest on Ruby 1.9.1 results in one big kaboom (that’s without autotest-mac). Once I’ve sorted that out, I’ll make autotest-mac compatible.
