growl is not working

[chabgood]

I have growl_notify and when guard is running cucumber features it blows up when trying to do a growl notification. The growl for rspec seems to work.

[chabgood]

Sorry, error is:
Running all features
Disabling profiles...

Can you please give some more details about the exception? In general the growl notifications are done in Guard and both, guard-cucumber and guard-rspec, use the functionality through the same API.

FYI: I just added a wiki page to Guard that deals with problems we're seeing with growl_notify. Please share your findings there also.

The problem is that the image is empty, so this means that there is an unknown status passed to icon_for. I just checked the Cucumber sources and can't find any new status.

So can you please analyze what status is passed to icon_for? Just call

bundle open guard-cucumber

and your editor will open with the current guard-cucumber sources. Now go to line 65 and simply add the following line at the top of the icon_for method:

puts status, status.class

Now run your features and report your findings.

I think it is erroring prior to that call, I am not seeing any output:

Seeing that exception again I finally understand the problem. Released 0.6.2 that contains the bugfix. Thanks a lot.

[chabgood]

Awesome, it works now, thanks. What did you change?

I had a logic error that may lead to an empty image name and that caused growl_notify to throw an error. I fixed it by making sure that only a valid image symbol or nil is passed to Guard.
