#### 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.

#### Changes

* Uses AppBase.
* Posts are now sorted by creation (oldest to newest).

#### Install

To use this [Radiator](https://steemit.com/steem/@inertia/radiator-steem-ruby-api-client) script:

##### Linux

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

##### macOS

```bash
$ gem install bundler
```

I've tested it on various versions of ruby, but I'm currently using:

`ruby 2.4.2p198 (2017-09-14 revision 59899) [x86_64-darwin17]`

First, clone this gist and install the dependencies:

```bash
$ 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:

```bash
$ 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:

```bash
$ ruby winspect.rb inertia
```

Example output:
