[Patch]Autotest Broked on Mac
Reported by Tim Dysinger | April 29th, 2008 @ 05:43 AM | in 1.0
In merb_spec.rb the spec_command search paths don't include /usr/bin/spec where spec lives. This means out of the box autospec merb doesn't work on the mac.
File.expand_path(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..', '..', 'bin', 'spec'))
( This is /User/tim/Projects/bin/spec ??? )
File.join(Config::CONFIG['bindir'], 'spec')
( This is /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/spec where as
spec is actually /usr/bin/spec on my mac )
Fix is:
def spec_commands
[ File.join(Config::CONFIG['bindir'], 'spec'), 'spec' ]
end
And is pushed to my repo @ github:
To git@github.com:dysinger/merb-more.git @ master @ 3382e44825ed

Tim,
on my Mac which spec and CONFIG['bindir'] show different locations. Any thoughts?

Michael,
That's the same behavior I got and I said that above
`which spec` = /usr/bin/spec
Config::CONFIG['bindir'] = /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin
I bet you have a broken app generator too then. Try generating an app and then going into it and typing autotest.
Of course you need rspec, merb from github and zentest.

Tim,
merb-gen app autotest_test worked for me.
I've already applied [very similar patch](http://merb.lighthouseapp.com/pr...) that adds both config bindir and information from which output.

Dupe of 108, closing in favor of that one

Michael Klishin,
I have respectfully disagree that this patch is invalid. This patch's implicit-pathed spec_command default works.
By applying the patch on 108 which pulls a `which spec`.chomp you have just fixed it on mac and broke it on windows.
I don't really care about windows but the merb project might.

I need to re-word that. It may not be broke out of the box on windows due to bindir might find spec in the right place. But if it ever gets to the `which spec` line it will break on windows.

Re-opening for discussion

Yesh, I should have thought about which being a *nix-only thing. I think I'll combine your patches with a platform distinguishing condition.
Thanks for pointing out Tim!

Also I don't get this line
File.expand_path(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..', '..', 'bin', 'spec'))
If I create a project in /User/tim/Projects/tstprj it looks for rspec in /User/tim/Projects/bin
Which says "look for the rspec command in the bin folder of the parent directory of this project" ??? Why would it look for rspec there?
That seems like a wasted check to me.

Anyway you got this ticket - I have spent way too much time on it. :)

Patch did not apply after I (stupidly) applied the other one, but it is fixed and pushed. Thank you for comments, Tim!
