Hey all,
On behalf of Marketcircle Inc., I am open sourcing a library that I have been
working on for a while now. AXElements is an alternative to using Auotmator or
the ScriptingBridge frameworks. AXElements provides more generic actions than
it's alternatives and should work with almost any Cocoa app without needing to
be explicitly supported; you can think of it as Capybara for desktop apps.
It is meant to be used for automated testing of GUI apps, but can be used for
general UI automation. You can combine it with testing libraries like minitest,
Rspec, or macbacon; but there is nothing stopping you from combining AXElements
with James to voice command some workflows.
The source is available on github and I have put together some small tutorails
in the documentation. I've also made a beta release to rubygems, and will make
a proper release soon. To get it now:
macgem install AXElements --pre
And then require 'ax_elements' to get started in macirb or a script.

Cheers,
Mark Rada
