Hacking on Blick

Blick relies on the Gradle build tool by way of the jruby-gradle-jar-plugin.

Building

In order to build an agent jar, you only need to run ./gradlew shadowJar in the blick/ directory.

Testing

Running the RSpec tests requires executing: ./gradlew spec

Running

The created "shadow jar" is fully self-contained and executable, executing it requires building the jar (see above) and then: java -jar build/libs/blick-agent-all.jar

NOTE: if you're using rvm or any other tool that sets the GEM_HOME and/or GEM_PATH environment variables, you should unset them before running the jar.
