Easily Add Growl Notifications to Autotest 9

Posted by Aaron Patterson on November 03, 2008

I recently released a new version of meow which is a ruby library to easily integrate growl notifications in to your applications. The main feature I added was to make it easy to add growl notifications for autotest.

All you have to do is add “require ‘meow/autotest’” to your .autotest file.

Here is a screencast. Please be kind. This is my first screencast! (that is why I use all the features!)

Direct Download.

I forgot to mention. Make sure you’re running OS X 10.5.

    This is off topic, but I’m interested in why you have kalman.c on your desktop. Just curious because I’ve spent the last week laboring over kalman filering/smoothing and parameter estimation.

    Hi Paul! I was briefly looking at traffic speed estimates on the roads here in Washington.

    Here is the link if you’d like:

    /usr/local/lib/ruby/siteruby/1.8/rubygems/customrequire.rb:31:in `gemoriginalrequire’: no such file to load — osx/cocoa (LoadError)

    Am I missing something?

    Same here:
    /usr/local/lib/ruby/siteruby/1.8/rubygems/customrequire.rb:27:in `gemoriginalrequire’: no such file to load — osx/cocoa (MissingSourceFile)

    Might this be because I launch tests with autospec?

    I guess I forgot to mention that you need to be running OS X 10.5. :-)

    Hmm, I’m on Leopard, so that should be ok. Do I need RubyCocoa?

  7. Aaron Patterson Tue, 04 Nov 2008 12:01:56 UTC

    Yes you need RubyCocoa, but RubyCocoa is supposed to come with 10.5.

    A quick note to those of you using your own Ruby builds–if you didn’t patch it for RubyCocoa, you’ll need to:

    Without it, Meow will innocently throw segfaults your way.

    P.S., the above commenters will likely have to manually build RubyCocoa for their /usr/local Ruby.
