Description _ gsporar 2007-11-10 20:42:57 UTC
If I have the ZenTest gem installed then my Ruby projects have an extra context menu entry: Auto Test.  Way cool!  :-)

But it seems to me there is a usability issue: how do I know if Auto Test is "on" or "off"?  Seems like there should be 
a check-mark next to the menu entry (or something) to let me know if autotest is currently running on this project or 
not.

Further, when I right-click the project and then click on Auto Test, it appears the IDE starts the autotest process.  
That's fine, but then how do I turn it off?

My expectation is: 

1. Right-click the project - no check mark next to Auto Test so I select the menu entry.  Auto Test starts running.
2. Right-click the project again - see the check mark next to Auto Test.  Click on edit window for a test and change 
test code.  Tests get run.  Much happiness.  :-)
3. Right-click the project again - see the check mark next to Auto Test.  Tired of running tests automatically.  Click 
the entry for Auto Test to stop the autotest process.
4. Right-click the project one last time - no check mark next to Auto Test.  Goto step #1.  :-)

But maybe I'm off target - what is the standard practice amongst hardcore Rubyists?
