mattscilipoti-redgreen is a fork of kule-redgreen
kule-redgreen description: kule-redgreen is a fork of Pat Eyler's & Chris Wanstrath's RedGreen.
I had problems with autotest only running once and then stopping (rather than continuously testing new updates).
This version works using ZenTest 4.0.0 on XP & Vista.
see History.txt
gem install mattscilipoti-redgreen -s http://gems.github.com
NB. Don't forget to uninstall the old redgreen gem if you are using it:
gem uninstall redgreen
See here to set up your windows environment: http://thewebfellas.com/blog/2007/12/10/rspec-autotest-and-snarl-on-windows
In your .autotest file you just need the following (used for tests/shoulda):
require 'autotest/snarl'
require 'Win32/Console/ANSI'
require 'redgreen/autotest'
Currently to allow Snarl to work with ZenTest 4.0.0 you need to modify autotest.rb file
(Usually: C:\Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\ZenTest-4.0.0\lib\ ):
Change this line: self.failed_results_re = /^\s+\d+) (?:Failure|Error):\n(.?)((.?))/
To: self.failed_results_re = /^\s+\d+) (?:\e[\d+;\d+m)?(?:Failure|Error)(?:\e[\d+;\d+m)?:\n(.?)((.?))/
This then allows the regular expression to ignore the colour escape codes and it picks up the correct amount of failures.
FYI I'll pop an email over to the ZenTest guys to see if they are okay to make this change.
Changed the colour scheme from foreground to background colours as I find it a little easier on the eyes!

Use it as you would the ruby interpreter when running your unit test.
Like so:
rg test/test_units.rb
