Leopard, autotest, growl, and Bob the Builder

May 23rd, 2008

Update: check out Nick's latest post for up to date info.

There's a bunch of articles that helpfully diagnose and solve the GRRRRowl + autotest + Leopard snafu.

In order to save me, and my cohorts, some time I've bundled it all up in a README + script + icons.

Being a new father, currently at my in-laws, I've reached for the nearest toy, and made bob the builder icons. I think they might even challenge hookercookerman's set (sadly, not on the web as afar as I can see - step up hookercookerman and post them).

Grab it

here (tarball, installation instructions inside)

P.S.

I made the screenshots with Photo booth's 'backdrop' feature, and a real toy. Finally, I can do composites (I just knew not learning photoshop would pay off).

I did as your README says but i get this error: $ growlnotify -m "Hello World" 2008-07-04 13:11:03.058 growlnotify.wrapped[302:807] Exception: NSPortTimeoutException I'm on 10.5.4 btw, leopard's firewall is off

hmm, for some weird reason my growl server was down... anyways, problem solved but i still get only the icon in the notification (no # tests, # failures)

OK, I did some changes in the growl.rb: http://pastie.org/227704 It works wonders now

Thanks for the comments Kostas - sorry I noticed them so late. I'll check out your suggestions. Cheers, Ian

I had the same firewall issue as Kostas - restarting the growl server via Growl preferences fixed it for me.
