I cannot get autotest to work. Rspec works fine.

Firstly, I cannot get the autotest/ Rspec command to work with the bundle exec command, so I modified the Gemfile to include the following code.

    source 'http://rubygems.org'

    gem 'rails', '3.0.7'
    gem 'sqlite3-ruby', '1.3.2', :require => 'sqlite3'

    group :development do
      gem 'rspec-rails', '2.5.0'
    end

    group :test do
    gem 'rspec', '2.5.0'
      gem 'webrat', '0.7.1'
    end

    group :development, :test do
      gem 'autotest'
    end

Then I tried installing autotest,

    $ [sudo] gem install autotest -v 4.4.6

I get the following error.

    Successfully installed autotest-4.4.6
    1 gem installed
    Installing ri documentation for autotest-4.4.6...
    File not found: lib
    ERROR:  While generating documentation for autotest-4.4.6
    ... MESSAGE:   exit
    ... RDOC args: --ri --op /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/doc/autotest-4.4.6/ri --main README.txt lib History.txt Manifest.txt README.txt --title autotest-4.4.6 Documentation --quiet

And subsequently I installed growl and fsevent

    $ [sudo] gem install autotest-rails-pure -v 4.1.2
    $ [sudo] gem install autotest-fsevent -v 0.2.4
    $ [sudo] gem install autotest-growl -v 0.2.9

These got installed

I modified the .autotest file in my root directory,

    require 'autotest-growl'
    require 'autotest-fsevent'

Now, when I try to run

    $ bundle exec autotest

I get the following error.

    from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/ZenTest-4.5.0/bin/autotest:6
    from /usr/bin/autotest:19:in `load'
    from /usr/bin/autotest:19

What am I missing?

autotest-growl is a separate gem from autotest, so you'll need a separate entry for it in your Gemfile:

gem 'autotest-growl'

You may need a separate Gemfile entry for autotest-fsevent too.
