== DESCRIPTION:

Simplifies Growl configuration for Autotest.

== Autotest Features:

* Easy configuration of growl notifications in ~/.autotest
* Comes bundled with sample green/red images, or you can supply your own
* Ability to specify OS X speech options (e.g. "Oh No!", if test failure)
* Ability to use a different OS X voice for each status
* RSpec support
* Test::Unit support

== Autotest Growl Integration:

The Autotest growl configuration should happen in ~/.autotest. To get up and running very quickly with basic notifications + images:

require 'growl_glue'
GrowlGlue::Autotest.initialize


If you wish to customize, further, you simply need to supply your own block, to which the GrowlGlue configuration object will be passed:

require 'growl_glue'
GrowlGlue::Autotest.initialize do |config|
...
end

It is recommended that you use network notifications due to a bug in Growl on OS X 10.5. Inside of the Growl Preferences pane, on the Network tab, make sure the "Listen for incoming notifications" checkbox is checked, and then *restart Growl*. Then configure GrowlGlue inside of the setup block:

config.notification :use_network_notifications => true

OS X Speech:

config.say :pending => "Almost there guy!"
config.voice :pending => "Boing"

config.say :failure => "PANIC PANIC PANIC"
config.voice :failure => "Hysterical"

If you have *sndplay* compiled and in the path, you can have different sounds played based on test success or failure. The "location" below is optional, as it defaults to "/System/Library/Sounds":

config.sound :success => "Glass.aiff"
config.sound :pending => "Glass.aiff"
config.sound :failure => "Basso.aiff"
config.sound :location => "/System/Library/Sounds/" (optional)

GrowlGlue comes with success and error images it will use on test success and error, respectively.
If you wish to supply your own, for example:

config.image :success => "~/Library/autotest/success.png"
config.image :pending => "~/Library/autotest/pending.png"
config.image :failure => "~/Library/autotest/failure.png"

By default, "Tests Passed" and "Tests Failed" will be used as the growl titles. You can supply your own, though:

config.title :success => "Love", :failure => "Hatred", :pending => "Well, OK!"

As an example, this is what I normally use:

GrowlGlue::Autotest.initialize do |config|
config.notification :use_network_notifications => true

config.sound :success => "Glass.aiff"
config.sound :pending => "Glass.aiff"

config.say :failure => "PANIC PANIC PANIC"
config.voice :failure => "Hysterical"
config.sound :failure => "Basso.aiff"
end
