Re: [rspec-users] Autotest with rspec HTML output
Thanks for the suggestions Aslak. I ended up doing pretty much what you said. I added a custom formatter that added a little functionality onto the HTML formatter. Instead of using a server all I did was use prototype/lowpro to refresh the page until all the specs were complete. I then used an autotest hook to have the browser refresh using applescript. Except for the last part it is all works on any machine with a browser. I have some ideas of how to work in the story runner in my tool... I know you were working on the HTML docs/ little app for plain text stories. Have you make any progress since your blog post about it?

I've been using this approach on and off for a while, using the META refresh technique both off of the file system and through a web server. I don't right now because it was taking up a bit too much screen space. Now that I've got a second monitor to hook up that may change again. I've been using a refresh rate of 30s, but that's actually already too slow. I guess a better solution would be to be able to trigger an action after specs have run. The actual command could just be a shell command defined in the spec.opts file, so that people can do whatever is the right thing for their platform and environment. * Tweak the HTML output to only output the red specs, not the green ones. That would be useful.

Re: [rspec-users] Autotest with rspec HTML output
I've always secretly thought that Adobe Air might be a good candidate for something like this, I just never got around to actually trying to do something about it. Air runs on Windows/Linux/OSX, can render HTML just fine, and can interact with the local filesystem to an extent. Last time I checked it's not able to run any commands on the target system, so you can't have it trigger tests... but if Autotest was running and writing results to a file, you should be able to rig something together.
