Ruby Examples
Before you test
All these commands are done from a terminal window. If you've already done a step, you can safely ignore that command.
Open this directory: cd APPIUM-LOCATION/sample-code/examples/ruby
Install Ruby: "\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby"
Install Bundler: gem install bundle
Install Gems: bundle install
You're ready to go!
simple_test.rb
A sanity check and simple example of driving a calculator app. Run this to see the bare minimum you need to get a test running for Appium.
Run the test by making sure Appium is running in another terminal, then from the terminal you opened above, running 'rspec simple_test.rb'
For more information, check out the comments at the top of simple_test.rb
u_i_catalog.rb
A demonstration of various things you can do with Appium. Check this if you need a recipe for a specific task, or just to see how simple and powerful iOS testing can be.
Run the test by making sure Appium is running in another terminal, then from the terminal you opened above, running 'rspec u_i_catalog.rb'

Cucumber
Cucumber is a Behaviour Driven Design framework that lots of people are keen on.
To run the Cucumber examples, you'll need to change directory to the cucumber directory (cd APPIUM-LOCATION/sample-code/examples/ruby/cucumber) and then, from the commandline, run 'cucumber'.
For more information, check out the comments at the top of the files in the cucumber directory.
