How to use

Pry commands are prefixed with %. For example %reset invokes Pry's reset command. To use the ruby_lib reset, it's reset

Install / Upgrade Ruby Console

gem uninstall -aIx appium_lib ;\
gem uninstall -aIx appium_console ;\
gem install --no-rdoc --no-ri appium_console bond

The bond gem is necessary for proper auto complete. Installing it will fix this error NameError: uninitialized constant Pry::BondCompleter::Bond

Notes

You should uninstall the ap gem because it breaks awesome_print.

gem uninstall -aIx ap
