Calabash-ios-java developer guide

Calabash-ios-java uses JRuby to invoke the Ruby client maintained by calabash-ios developers. calabash-ios gem and all other dependent gems are zipped and put it to the distributable JAR file of calabash-ios-java. While executing, calabash-ios-java will extract the gems from the JAR and sets up the gem path for the JRuby runtime.

To create a distibutable package, follow the below instructions.

Create a temporary directory to get all the gems

rvm gemset create calabash-cucumber-latest-gems
rvm use ruby-1.9.3-p194@calabash-cucumber-latest-gems

Install the calabash-cucumber gem. This will install the gem and it's dependencies to the temporary gemset created before.

gem install calabash-cucumber --no-ri --no-rdoc

Download latest JRuby from http://jruby.org.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/<version>/jruby-bin-<version>.tar.gz. Unzip and move this directory to the gemset directory as jruby.home.

cd ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194@calabash-cucumber-latest-gems
wget http://jruby.org.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/1.7.5/jruby-bin-1.7.5.tar.gz
tar -zxvf jruby-bin-1.7.5.tar.gz
mv jruby-1.7.5  jruby.home
rm jruby-bin-1.7.5.tar.gz

Delete unwanted files from the jruby.home directory. Create a zip of all the contents.

zip -r gems.zip .

Move the gems.zip file to calabash-ios-java directory and make the distro.

ant -Dgems.zip.path=gems.zip distro 

This will make the distributable files inside the build directory. Grab the JAR from the distribution, test it and release!
