Leopard - Autotest - Growl Notification

Written by matt on October 30th, 2007

mac os X leopard

As many of you know, I'm a great RSpec and autotest fan.

Last night, I upgraded my MacBook to from Tiger to Leopard and I everything went very well... apart that Autotest stopped notifying me using Growl when my tests pass or fail :(

Growl itself works fine, even when using spaces.

However growlNotify, the Growl plugin used by autotest doesn't seem to be Leopard compatible yet.

Just thought you guys should know that before upgrading.

    Works for me just fine.

    I'm having similar problems.. So it must be a combination of things if it worked for Coda and not us.

    weird, it seems not to work when you are using multiple screens. I just unplugged my 22' LCD and I now have something like 500 Autotest notifications popping up on my screen.

    For me it works except if I put a new icon to the notification (with -a -I or -i switches). Without the switches it works fine.

    I hate to be that guy, but it works for me with custom images and with multiple monitors.

    I did a fresh install instead of an upgrade and it works OK. Works with custom images as well. Do you get a "command growlnotify not found" error?

    A guy posted a work-around using applescript here: http://www.silverchairsolutions.com/blog/?p=19

    I haven't tried it, the above comment gives me hope that there's a simple solution out there...

    can anyone confirm he can get the notifications working when using autotest with multiple screens?

    This wasn't working for me, and then I read this article, unplugged my monitor, verified it worked with one monitor, plugged my monitor back in and now it's working.

    The only other thing I can think that I did was go into system preferences and change the corner growl displays. So that may have fixed it as well. Regardless I am now on a Macbook running Leopard after upgrading from Tiger, and am getting growl message to appear with autotest.

    Infact, while writing this I noticed that the notifications stopped working, but going into preferences and changing the corner it displays on made it work again. You can change it back to whatever you want, but it seems changing it makes it work. Not entirely sure what made it stop working... but... at least I can get it working.

    I did an upgrade from 10.4 and when I upgraded to growl 1.1.2 it works again on all my spaces. I don't have multiple monitors hooked up so I can't test that.

  • Justin on 18 Dec 14:45

    How addicted to that feature am I if this is making me considering holding off on an upgrade...?

  • Chris Garrett on 05 Jan 03:17

    Had the same problem, with multiple monitors. All I did was change the corner in the Growl preferences, and it works fine now.
