Autotest is Better than Ever

Last night at Seattle.rb’s weekly hacking night I polished off several bugs and features for autotest in preparation for a release of ZenTest this week, possibly even today!

The most-interesting new feature (inspired by comments from Pat Eyler) is a mini continuous-integration mode I added. By running autotest -vcs=cvs, autotest will perform a cvs up every 5 minutes in the course of running its tests. Autotest also understands how to update svn and p4 repositories as well.

There is one open report related to testrb not being found when using the One-Click Ruby Installer. Not having a win32 machine, I can’t confirm whether the bug is ours, in the one-click installer, or a user configuration error.
