TerminalNotifier - Guard Style

A simple Ruby wrapper around the terminal-notifier command-line tool, which allows you to send User Notifications to the Notification Center on Mac OS X 10.8, or higher.

This version has 4 different icons included for each status that Guard supports:

1. Failed
2. Notify
3. Pending
4. Success

Installation

This version depends on the official terminal-notifier. Install it with Homebrew or see the official Installation instructions.

$ brew install terminal-notifier

Then, install the gem

$ gem install terminal-notifier-guard

Or add it to your Gemfile:

gem 'terminal-notifier-guard', '~> 1.6.1'

OSX 10.8 users

As of version 1.6.1, we no longer bundle notifiers binaries in this gem. Please revert to version 1.5.3 for OSX 10.8 support.

Usage

You could also use the notifier directly.

Examples are:

TerminalNotifier::Guard.notify('Hello World')
TerminalNotifier::Guard.notify('Hello World', :title => 'Ruby', :subtitle => 'Programming Language')
TerminalNotifier::Guard.notify('Hello World', :activate => 'com.apple.Safari')
TerminalNotifier::Guard.notify('Hello World', :open => 'http://twitter.com/alloy')
TerminalNotifier::Guard.notify('Hello World', :execute => 'say "OMG"')
TerminalNotifier::Guard.notify('Hello World', :group => Process.pid)

TerminalNotifier::Guard.remove(Process.pid)

TerminalNotifier::Guard.list(Process.pid)
TerminalNotifier::Guard.list

TerminalNotifier::Guard.failed('This did not go well.')
TerminalNotifier::Guard.success('This did not go bad.')
TerminalNotifier::Guard.pending('This needs some work still')
