Further Installation Reqs?

[jharris]

I attempted to install via the steps in the Readme.

git...; cd...; rake install

The install failed:

macbook:safariwatir John$ rake install
(in /Users/John/safariwatir)
rake aborted!
no such file to load -- echoe
/Users/John/safariwatir/Rakefile:3
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

I resolved this by installing the dependency 'echoe' through gem and reran rake.

The install failed again, complaining thus:

:safariwatir John$ rake install
(in /Users/John/safariwatir)
Missing manifest. You can build one with 'rake manifest'.

So I ran 'rake manifest':

:safariwatir John$ rake manifest
(in /Users/John/safariwatir)
Cleaning
Building Manifest

• Manifest
• README.rdoc
• Rakefile
• lib/safariwatir.rb
• lib/safariwatir/core_ext.rb
• lib/safariwatir/scripter.rb
• lib/watir/exceptions.rb
• safariwatir_example.rb

and then reran 'rake install'. The gem installed correctly at that point.

also make sure you include a dependency of echoe:

gem install echoe
should be the first step

so the steps:

1. sudo gem install echoe
2. rake build safariwatir.gemspec
3. rake manifest
4. rake install

I ran into a small issue myself. I install using gem install safariwatir
After going into IRB I did require 'safariwatir' and got an error saying it couldn't find appscript.

I had to gem install rb-appscript then everything worked fine for me.

My system is OSX 10.5.8 with Safari 4.0.3 and ruby 1.8.6p287

Maybe this gem could install rb-appscript packaged together if it doesn't exist? That would be awesome!
