Growling Tests

An sbt 0.10.* plugin that growls/notifies test results.

Install

On Mac

Install the growl extra growlnotify commandline client, make sure it's in your path and you have growl turned on.

On Ubuntu

Install the libnotify-bin package.

sudo apt-get install libnotify-bin

Project Configuration

To install on a per-project basis, create a build.sbt file under project/plugins/ in your sbt project

resolvers += "less is" at "http://repo.lessis.me"

libraryDependencies <+= sbtVersion(v => "me.lessis" %% "sbt-growl-plugin" % "0.1.2-%s".format(v))

To install globally, create a Build.scala file under ~/.sbt/plugins/project directory

import sbt._
object PluginDef extends Build {
  override def projects = Seq(root)
  lazy val root = Project("plugins", file(".")) dependsOn(growl)
  lazy val growl = uri("git://github.com/softprops/sbt-growl-plugin.git#0.1.2")
}

Run your tests with the sbt test task and you'll see the magikz.

Configuring Icons

By default the growl plugin looks for icons in ~/.sbt/growl/icons/. Specifically, it looks for:

pass.png - used when tests pass
fail.png - used when tests fail
error.png - used for catastrophic failures

If an icon is not found for Growl, the plugin extracts a Scala logo and places it in ~/.sbt/growl/icons/scala-logo.png to use for notifications.

The directory in which Growl looks for icons can be configured by adding this to your build.sbt file:

defaultImagePath in Growl := "/my/better/path"

You can configure images individually by reconfiguring the GrowlTestImages class. e.g.

images in Growl <<= (images in Growl)(i => i.copy(fail = Some("/better/fail/icon.png")))
