Error using config object

See original GitHub issue

I’ve been unable to get backstop to work by passing a config object instead of a path to a config file (which I can get to work, but is sub-optimal). Even using the example in the readme fails:

var gulp         = require('gulp')
,   backstop     = require('backstopjs')
;

gulp.task('test-css', function() {
    backstop('test', {
      config: {
        id: "foo",
        scenarios: [
          //some scenarios here
        ]
      }
    });
});

Output:

λ gulp test-css
(node:5188) fs: re-evaluating native module sources is not supported. If you are using the graceful-fs module, please update it to a more recent version.

It looks like in makeConfig.js:20 it always assumes options.config is a file path?

I published this out. You can install via npm install -g backstopjs@canary

If anyone wants to validate that would be great. I’ll push this out to @latest later today.

Thanks @skip405 and @Enchiridion – really appreciate the report and quick turnaround! 👍
