Video recording of test runs

[Simon_K]

Hey,

Since bootstrap sadly isn't working on the https://github.com/appium/screen_recording , does anyone know any good alternative?

I've been using physical android device and adb screenrecord for a bit, but I was hoping to have something that works regardless of platform and type (simulator/emulator/real device), just as the screen_recording did.

I built this for my own use. Hopefully it will be helpful for others.

Make sure you have the latest xcode version and command line tools. That should hopefully fix this issue. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26434642/yosemite-upgrade-broke-ruby-h

I'd also recommend installing a ruby version manager just for future cases where you might need a ruby gem. The base level ruby on OSX is pretty old and is missing a lot of updates. You can install a ruby manager by running the below in terminal. This will give you the latest ruby version and software to install other version if needed. Another manager is RBENV but I prefer RVM.
