Autotest [Gnu] Screen¶ ↑

Conceptually very similar to autotest-growl<github.com/svoop/autotest-growl>, but notify the user via the caption of the parent screen process.

Requirements¶ ↑

Install the gem

gem install autotest-screen

and add the following to ~/.autotest

require 'autotest/screen'

Autotest-screen only works when autotest is invoked from a descendent process of gnu screen. The right pid is searched for via /proc.

Fork the project.
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.

This project is baesd on Sven Schwyn’s excellent autotest-growl.

Yoshiyuki MIKAMI is the author of the autotest_screen gem which has a similar purpose to autotest-screen. I haven’t tried it, but it’s much older than autotest-screen: if you have trouble with my gem, you may find more luck with Yoshiyuki’s.
