winspect.rb - Golos Witness Inspector

Overview

Witness Inspector will look at the witnesses you've voted for and finds their latest #witness-category posts so you can get all of the URLs on one screen.

Install

To use this Radiator script:

Linux

$ sudo apt-get install ruby-full git openssl libssl1.0.0 libssl-dev
$ gem install bundler

macOS

$ gem install bundler

I've tested it on various versions of ruby. The oldest one I got it to work was:

ruby 2.0.0p645 (2015-04-13 revision 50299) [x86_64-darwin14.4.0]

First, clone this gist and install the dependencies:

$ git clone git@gist.github.com:8fd886f57978cdac3bac10ff58cbcdfa.git winspect
$ cd winspect
$ bundle install

Optional: edit the file winspect.yml to change chain and/or node url.

Upgrade

Typically, you can upgrade to the latest version by this command, from the original directory you cloned into:

$ git pull

Usually, this works fine as long as you haven't modified anything. If you get an error, try this:

$ git stash --all
$ git pull --rebase
$ git stash pop

If you're still having problems, I suggest starting a new clone.

Usage

To run the report:

$ ruby winspect.rb inertia

Troubleshooting

Problem: The node I'm using is down.

Is there a list of nodes?

Solution: Yes, special thanks to @ripplerm.
