While we're on the subject of Rails and Textmate, does anyone have a bundle recipe to trigger a 'rake test' without having to pick 'test' from the menu of allowed tasks? Really I'd like to be able to hit a single keyboard shortcut and have it happen. Failing that I'll eventually get around to writing my own, but why debug the newly reinvented wheel. -faisal ---

Really I'd like to be able to hit a single keyboard shortcut and have it happen. We did this trick: - declare a keystroke, F5, that does nothing - set the keystroke to "save all files" first - run trigger.rb in a shell next to the editor (on another monitor) - trigger.rb detects when any file gets saved - the trigger doesn't run test:recent. It uses test:svn\_modified [http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/msg/91d25ae319db21b2](http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/msg/91d25ae319db21b2) > Failing that I'll eventually get around to writing my own, but why debug the newly reinvented wheel.
