Hi Pat, thanks for your reply. The pid_file very much exists. :). That
was the first check that occured to me too.
As you had suggested ... I wrote these tests that passed :
class FileExistsTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_for_Existing_File
assert_equal(true, File.exist?("c:/testfile.txt"))
end
def test_for_missing_file
assert_equal(false, File.exist?("c:/NoFile.txt"))
end
def test_for_sphinx_pid_file
assert_equal(true, File.exist?("D:/Projects/Feedback/log/
searchd.development.pid"))
end
end
Any other suggestions that might work? I have been thinking about
setting up Ubuntu in dev ... do you think that would be an idea worth
exploring?
