ZenTest dropped redgreen

If you’re used to running autospec for your spec tests, and you recently updated all of your gems, you might notice that the red/green coloring of your terminal disappeared. In fact you might notice that require 'autotest/redgreen' is throwing an exception.

Well I just found out that ZenTest dropped most of it’s plugins (redgreen being one) as of version 4.1.0.

The fix for me was to uninstall ZenTest then install ZenTest 4.0.0.

Maybe someone will give me the better solution? Did the plugin get a gem?

    Nobody volunteered to take over that plugin to release as a separate gem. AFAIK, there is already a separate redgreen gem. I didn’t use either so I can’t vouch for it tho.

    You’re welcome to email me (or better, file a bug) and we can get you set up to maintain autotest/redgreen and release it as a gem.

    anything happend on that? As i just upgraded to ZenTest 4.1.4 i learned the hardway that redgreen got dropped. I might give a helping hand getting it back working with the current version, just let me know.

    @dirk – I never moved on it. Rather I rev’d down on ZenTest. Currently I don’t have the bandwidth to take this on.
