@Senthil You can pick up new files by saving/touching the script file instead of completely restarting watchr. That tells it to rescan for files matching the patterns. It’s not done automatically, to avoid wasting resources.

I love watchr , built a simple git auto commit snippet it works fine.

only possible issue is if I add a new file to the folder, it does not seem to get recognised, until I restart the watchr,

any suggestions or fixes

Comment on Testing On Different Ruby Versions / Interpreters with rvm by mynyml

Thanks for the update, Wayne.

I didn’t know about the new “rvm v1,v2,… cmd” idiom. Really is much simpler, and certainly more elegant! I’ll update the post.

Martin,

Awesome writeup, thank you. I would also like to point out some relatively new features of rvm for use with testing & benchmarking.

Running rake tasks across multiple versions is easy:
http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/rake/

Similarly for benchmarking code:
http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/benchmark/

One of the most useful not yet documented feature of rvm is:

$ rvm 1.8.7,1.9.1,jruby –json rake spec

This will run ‘rake spec’ against the three selected rubies and display a json formatted summary at the end. You can also use –yaml for a yaml formatted summary. This should be available and functioning in rvm >= 0.0.49.

The evented backend has been reenabled. It will kick in automatically on *nix systems if rev is installed (gem install rev)

@Elliot I’ve disabled the evented backend while I fix something - but it should be back in there this weekend

Oh, I love that it reacts to filesystem changes instead of polling. I’ve been trying to use RSpactor instead of autospec to save some CPU cycles but it’s never worked for me. I’m going to give Watchr a shot!

@Jon that’s really interesting! Seeing Watchr used with a language other than ruby totally made my day.
