    copied!<p>I get no Growl notifications when tests pass or fail. I've gone through all the setup guides I can find.</p> <p><strong>Details</strong></p> <p>I run <code>guard</code> and it starts Spork fine:</p> <pre><code>Using RSpec Preloading Rails environment Loading Spork.prefork block... Spork is ready and listening on 8989! </code></pre> <p>When I change a spec file, everything seems OK:</p> <pre><code>Running: spec/unit/category_spec.rb Running tests with args ["--color", "--format", "progress", "--format", "Guard::RSpec::Formatter::NotificationRSpec", "--out", "/dev/null", "--require", "/Users/John/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/guard-rspec-0.5.2/lib/guard/rspec/formatters/notification_rspec.rb", "spec/unit/category_spec.rb"]... . Finished in 0.2063 seconds 1 example, 0 failures Done. </code></pre> <p>But... nothing from Growl. </p> <p><strong>What I've Tried</strong></p> <ul> <li>Ticked Guard in the Applications tab in Growl pref pane</li> <li>Installed latest Growl for Snow Leopard - V1.2.2</li> <li>Growl is started and working OK - I enable iTerm and I get notifications from that fine.</li> <li>Added <code>rb-fsevent</code>, <code>growl</code> and <code>growl_notify</code> to gem file and ran bundle install</li> <li>Installed Growl Notify package from the Growl Downloads page.</li> <li>Restarted my Mac</li> </ul> <p><strong>Gemfile</strong></p> <pre><code>group :development, :test do gem 'factory_girl' gem 'rspec-rails' gem "guard-rspec" gem "spork", "&gt; 0.9.0.rc" gem "guard-spork" gem 'rb-fsevent' gem 'growl_notify' gem 'growl' end </code></pre> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>By complete chance I found that when I removed the <code>--drb</code> option from the guard file:</p> <p>Before:</p> <pre><code>guard 'rspec', :version =&gt; 2, :cli =&gt; "--drb" do </code></pre> <p>After:</p> <pre><code>guard 'rspec', :version =&gt; 2, :cli =&gt; "" do </code></pre> <p>Growl started working. But when I do this, the tests take ages to run again.</p> <p><strong>Growl works OR tests are fast ...but not both!</strong></p>
