Does it make sense to enable guard-teaspoon to use :cmd option for starting spring teaspoon?

I don't know about others, but personally I would like to be able to set :cmd to anything I want. For my apps I wrap commands in foreman run so it loads my environment variables for that command only, without exporting them into the current shell session. This works for Rspec + Guard, but Teaspon + Guard fails to honor the custom command.

Hi, after posting that I tried something that solved my problem. I now wrap the entire guard start command with Foreman instead, and everything works perfectly. Sorry for adding noise to the issue.

No worries! I don't use guard regularly and I wrote this project more or less as a proof of concept. I am by no means opposed to someone who knows what they're doing with guard to improve upon it. I don't even know what :cmd means, and have little time to really understand the stack as well as I should to provide this as a good solution. Feel free to make PRs. :)

Guard has an option named :cmd that you set in the Guardfile for each suite (Rspec, Teaspoon, etc). It's the command that runs Teaspoon (e.g. bundle exec rake teaspon)

Proof of concept or not, this plugn does the job! Thanks for creating it.

@xtagon I have a similar issue with the :cmd option trying to get guard-teaspoon to run bundle exec spring teaspoon instead of bundle exec teaspoon when a change is detected. Can you elaborate on your workaround/solution?

[xtagon]

@nerfologist I start guard with the command foreman run bundle exec guard start (Foreman loads my .env file). My Guardfile has the line:

guard :teaspoon, cmd: "spring rake teaspoon" do
  # watch ...
end

It's a lot of comand wrapping but it works for me.

if anybody wants to submit a PR, I'd merge it.. I don't use it, so it's hard for me to get a good setup and make sure everything is working.
