:test_unit => false      # Don't use Test::Unit
:bundler => false        # Don't use "bundle exec"
:cli => '--time'         # Pass options to zeus. `zeus commands` for more zeus options

Known Issues

Use with pry

There is a known issue when using guard-zeus with pry, notably the zeus output appear on top of the pry console.

The workaround is to add the cli setting in your Guardfile, e.g.

guard 'zeus', cli: '> /dev/null' do

Lingering zeus process

If you have issues with zeus lingering around after exiting guard, you can add the following to the top of your Guardfile.

at_exit {exec('pkill -f zeus')}
