Guard::Zeus

Guard::Zeus automatically starts and stops Zeus.

Install

Please be sure to have Guard and Zeus installed before continuing.

Install the gem:

$ gem install guard-zeus

Add it to your Gemfile (inside development group):

gem 'guard-zeus'

Add guard definition to your Guardfile by running this command:

$ guard init zeus

Please read Guard doc for more information about the Guardfile DSL.

Available options:

:cli => '--time'         # Pass options to zeus. `zeus commands` for more zeus options

There is a known issue when using guard-zeus with pry, notably the zeus output appear on top of the pry console.

The workaround is to add the cli setting in your Guardfile, e.g.

guard 'zeus', cli: '> /dev/null' do

If you have issues with zeus lingering around after exiting guard, you can add the following to the top of your Guardfile.

at_exit {exec('pkill -f zeus')}
