Spork is repeatedly re-running failing tests in autotest?

I just fixed a similar problem with autotest and an endless loop, where some component (simplecov in that case) kept updating files in the directory and autotest picked them up as being changed and therefore reran the tests. To solve the problem, find out if spork writes to some file/directory in your tree and add this to the exception list for autotest like so.

Add_hook :initialize do |at| at. Add_exception(%r{^\. /\.

Git}) at. Add_exception(%r{^\. /your_culprit}) end Maybe the docu on github makes it more clear.

Hope this helps.

I had autotest working before adding spork, so I don't think that is the issue. In any case, I tried creating a . Autotest file with the above code.

I didn't see any exceptions. Will this file automatically get loaded when I restart autotest? – aaronapayne Feb 24 at 19:48 OK, so it looks like the code in the .

Autotest file is being run, but I am not seeing any exceptions. – aaronapayne Feb 24 at 20:05 You are not supposed to see exceptions. The code adds exceptions to the stuff that autotest takes into consideration for detecting changes.

And of course you have to modify it to your needs. Please find out if spork writes something, e.g. A logfile or similar. – jhwist Feb 24 at 20:40 Thanks for your help on this and sorry for the delay getting back to you.

The problem was an issue with . Autotest like you said. I had two gems in my Gemfile ("autotest-fsevent","autotest-growl"), but wasn't requiring them in .autotest.

After adding them to the . Autotest file, the problem went away. – aaronapayne Feb 240 at 23:09.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
