I'm actually running this on Travis CI, so command-line is a requirement. I'm sure I could manually input those commands to the browser, but no ;-)
My compromise thus far has been to ship gaia in a vendor submodule, build my app, insert it into that gaia's apps folder, build gaia, then run the simulator using that gaia build. It works, it's just not as sexy and I have to download a separate gaia and build it, even though B2G desktop will launch a "default" gaia if not presented with a folder to run. - tofumatt | http://tofumatt.com On 2013-04-15, at 3:06 PM, Myk Melez <m...@mozilla.org> wrote: > On 2013/04/14 04:02, tofumatt wrote: >> That is indeed what I've settled on, but I find it a bit clunky.
