Here is my gemfile
source 'http://rubygems.org'
gem 'rails', '3.0.9'
gem 'mysql2', '~> 0.2.6'
group :development do
gem 'rspec-rails'
end
group :test do
gem 'rspec'
end
Fairly straightforward and nothing unusual. On a passing test the autotest works great and stops like it should

There is a duplicate question that has the proper fix: Autotest inifinitely looping
The answer didn't fix it for me either, but it was because I was using webrat and webrat.log was being created, causing the tests to restart. So I modified their answer to include webrat.log
Here is the modified solution:
I found the solution. Probably has to do with OSX (running this on Leopard) changing the .DS_Store file in the folder or another temp file. Adding the following to my .autotest did the trick (this also prevents autotest looking at the index folder generated by Ferret).
Autotest.add_hook :initialize do |at|
%w{.git webrat.log vendor index .DS_Store ._}.each {|exception| at.add_exception(exception)}
end
I had the same problem. Try to uninstall your ZenTest gem and reinstall it via dependencies as:
sudo gem install autotest-rails
sudo gem install rspec-rails
