ruby_gntp connection failure

[jamesarosen]

I get "Error sending notification with gntp: Register failed" on every Guard run.

• Growl version 1.4
• guard (1.6.1)
• ruby_gntp (0.3.4)

# Guardfile
guard :test do
  watch(%r{^lib/(.+)\.rb$})
  watch(%r{^test/.+_test\.rb$})
  watch('test/test_helper.rb')  { "test" }
end

When I go through the examples in the ruby_gntp README, the notifications work fine. Growl is running and the network tab on its preference pane shows that it is listening for incoming network notifications.

I do not have Growl version 1.4 available, because I've bought version 2.0.1 in the App store. The following snippet works fine and it uses the default GNTP options:

require 'ruby_gntp'
gntp = ::GNTP.new('Guard', '127.0.0.1', '', 23053)
gntp.register({
  :app_icon => File.expand_path(File.join('images', 'guard.png')),
  :notifications => [
    { :name => 'notify', :enabled => true },
    { :name => 'failed', :enabled => true },
    { :name => 'pending', :enabled => true },
    { :name => 'success', :enabled => true }
  ]
})
gntp.notify(:name => 'success', :title => 'Guard test', :text => 'This is a test')

Can you verify Growl listens on the same port?

[jamesarosen]

That code works great on Growl 1.4. Do I need to add some setup to my Guardfile corresponding to the following?

gntp = ::GNTP.new('Guard', '127.0.0.1', '', 23053)
gntp.register({
  :app_icon => File.expand_path(File.join('images', 'guard.png')),
  :notifications => [
    { :name => 'notify', :enabled => true },
    { :name => 'failed', :enabled => true },
    { :name => 'pending', :enabled => true },
    { :name => 'success', :enabled => true }
  ]
})

Strange, that code is basically a slightly modified version of the ::Guard::Notifiers::GNTP#notify method. I'm not aware of any setup needed, the parameters used are the default ones.

[netzpirat]

@jamesarosen Did you solve the GNTP problem?

[jamesarosen]

No, I switched to one of the other Growl gems.

[netzpirat]

Ok, that's also a solution :P I'm closing this then, since I'm not able to reproduce it.

Hi! I have same problem.

I try send notification on local machine from remote server.

Ubuntu 13.04
gol installed from repository
gem ruby_gntp

The example using gntp above work fine on local machine, but
on remote server I take 'ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/ruby_gntp-0.3.4/lib/ruby_gntp.rb:91:in register': Register failed (RuntimeError)

I use remote forward in ssh

  RemoteForward 23053 localhost:23053

It seems to me where I was wrong :)

Thanks!

[netzpirat]

@maksimr this looks like a Ruby GNTP issue, not much we can do from our side.

[maksimr]

Thanks!
Yes, I understand, but looking at their repository seems that the escort had left him.

P.S.
I noticed that it works through time, periodically it send notification ... %)
