You're explaining yourself just fine. The problem is that you're listening 1/2
to the book and 1/2 to me, but you need to just listen to me right now :)
The problem is as follows:
* the book uses ruby-1.8
* you are using ruby-1.9
* ruby-1.8 includes "." on the $LOAD_PATH
* ruby-1.9 does _not_ include "." on the $LOAD_PATH
* ZenTest-4.4.1 does _not_ add "." to the $LOAD_PATH
* these last two ^^ mean that if you're using ruby-1.9, rspec-2, and
ZenTest-4.4.1, the autotest command that ships with ZenTest will not find
'./autotest/discover.rb' and will not load the correct class
* per the error message you got when you ran autospec, autospec has been
removed from rspec-2, so you have to use the autotest command
Any of the following combinations _will_ work:
1) Run the following commands
$ gem uninstall ZenTest
$ gem uninstall autotest
$ gem install autotest -v 4.4.5
$ autotest
Again, use autotest, not autospec. autotest-4.4.5 is a standalone autotest gem
that does not require ZenTest. This will work using the autotest/discover.rb
file because autotest-4.4.5 adds "." to the $LOAD_PATH.
2)
$ gem uninstall autotest
$ gem install ZenTest
At this point you have the book's recommended setup, but the autotest command
will not see autotest/discover.rb. Your options are:
a) add "." to the $LOAD_PATH yourself
$ ruby -I . -S autotest
The -I option tells ruby to add its argument ('.') to the command line. The -S
option tells ruby what script to run (autotest).
b) Use autotest's --style option
$ autotest --style rspec2
This bypasses the search for autotest/discover.rb (so you can delete it if
you're using this) and "just works."
There are other options, but I don't want to confuse you any further. I really
hope this clears things up.
Also, I've reported this issue to the ZenTest project, so there is some chance
that ZenTest-4.4.2 will add "." to the $LOAD_PATH, at which point the material
in the book will work as written (except that the file is
"autotest/discover.rb", not "autotest/.autotest/discover.rb") with ruby-1.9.
Good luck!
Cheers,
David
