Installing from git HEAD or updating gem

[Aidan Steele]

How would I cleanly go about installing Zucchini directly from the
project's HEAD at Github? The installation directions only specify how
to install the project using gems, but the latest gem doesn't include
the UIAElement.$() support. Alternatively, could a new gem be
released?

Regards,
Aidan

Are you using bundler to manage gems? Isn't there some option using bundler to specify the git repo to use? (I'm not a ruby guy)

Can you tell me more about UIAElement.$() support... haven't come across it.

Hi Stew,

Sorry for the misunderstanding. UIAElement instances don't have a $ member function by default, it's something I hacked into Zucchini in this pull request: https://github.com/playup/zucchini/pull/5

It's just something I added to my local copy of Zucchini to get work done quicker, but I couldn't work out how to cleanly distribute the changes to co-workers. I'll have a look into "bundler" -- I'm also far from a ruby guy.

To be honest, I'm about as _un_familiar as one can get with UIAutomation, CoffeeScript or JavaScript in general. The approach could be way off base and I'm missing the obvious solution that everyone else has been using up to this stage. :-)
