Visionmedia Commander → 4.0

Hi,

I read your comment on http://blog.infinitered.com/entr... and wanted to try out your gem as it looks very promising. Perhaps I just forgot something and perhaps this is not the right place for this type of question but I cannot install the commander gem.

I get a "Don't know how to build task 'test/foo'" message when trying to install or build the gem.

Maybe you can help me?

I tried following steps:

$ sudo gem update

$ git clone git://github.com/visionmedia/commander.git

$ cd commander/

$ rake gem

no such file to load -- highline/import

$ sudo gem install highline

$ rake gem

no such file to load -- echoe

$ sudo gem install echoe

$ rake gem

no such file to load -- spec/rake/spectask

$ sudo gem install rspec

$ rake gem

mkdir -p pkg rake aborted! Don't know how to build task 'test/foo'

$ rake gem --trace

From this point I do not know what to do next. Do you have an idea whats going wrong in this case?

Help would be very appreciated.
