How Do I install go.cd-blinky?¶ ↑

OSX and Linux¶ ↑

Install lib-usb-1.0 with your favourite package manager, and then install the blinky gem

For example, on OSX:

brew install libusb

on Debian or Ubuntu:

apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev

and so on

Windows¶ ↑

Windows can be a bit fiddly. The following is how I got a Delcomm II light to work on a Windows 7 laptop. Further experience reports/better instructions would be gratefully received.

• installed Zadig (github.com/pbatard/libwdi/wiki#wiki-Downloads)

• plugged in the USB light

  • at this point windows ‘helpfully’ installed an incorrect ‘USB Input device’ driver

• opened Zadig and selected ‘Options -> List All Devices’

• Selected ‘USB Input Device’ in the Zadig drop-down

• Clicked on ‘Replace Driver’ and confirmed in the popup dialog

• installed the blinky gem

If you are using rb-env, it’s super simple. Just run:

bundle install

And you are good to go. Otherwise, go install each gem in ‘Gemfile` one by one.

Usage¶ ↑

Change the chica.rb file if you want to filter out projects you want to see failing. And run;

chicanery chica.rb

It’ll light red if any of the given build ids fail, amber for errors on any build and for the rest it’s green.

It will periodically(every 5 seconds) run it.
