1237057 - Have a link to the mozregression-gui.exe binary on the mozregression homepage

Status: NEW

(Testing :: mozregression, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Jeff Muizelaar [:jrmuizel]]

Currently there are a bunch of steps from the http://mozilla.github.io/mozregression/ page to actually downloading the binary.
- Click the "Install" tab
- Read the instructions
- Click "github releases"
- Scroll down
- Click mozregression-gui.exe link

It would be nice if we used javascript to detect windows and had a direct link from the homepage to https://github.com/mozilla/mozregression/releases/download/gui-0.7.0/mozregression-gui.exe

Hey Akshat!

So you should start by cloning mozregression and move to the gh-pages branch where the code for the documentation lives:

> git clone https://github.com/mozilla/mozregression
> cd mozregression
> git checkout gh-pages

Then read the README (https://github.com/mozilla/mozregression/blob/gh-pages/README.md) to install jekyll (http://jekyllrb.com/). Jekyll is used to build the documentation. Have a look at the jekyll documentation, and look around in the current code, you may find where you need to add some code.

The idea is to display on the main page some links to install latest releases, available in github (https://github.com/mozilla/mozregression/releases). I think we can provide links for the windows, osx and linux versions. You should use the github api from javascript to get the url, see https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/releases/ - I believe this is the entry point that is interesting, https://api.github.com/repos/mozilla/mozregression/releases.

As mentioned in the README, i followed the steps-

1) gem install bundler

2) bundle install --path vendor/bundle --binstubs = but error is appearing saying "Could not reach host bundler.rubygems.org. Check your network connection and try again". 

My internet is fine, can you please help !!!

[Julien Pagès (:parkouss)]

Hm, do you have a proxy ?

Else I am thinking that it may be a temporary issue with the bundler.rubygems server, maybe try again now. Though it works fine for me, I just tested it.

For information, here is the result of |bundle --version| for me:

Bundler version 1.11.2
