Using a GitHub checkout of Taiko

[fmeum]

I would like to use a GitHub checkout of Taiko (e.g., the v1.2.5 tag) for my tests so that I can add some more debug prints to failing selectors. However, if I reference a GitHub release of Taiko in my package.json, e.g. getgauge/taiko#v1.2.5, suddenly all my tests fail already on the first selector action.

What is the preferred way to use a local checkout of Taiko in another project?

since taiko is an npm module, you should be able to use npm install <path to local taiko> in your project. Would that help?

It will make changes to your package.json which you may want to review before any commits.
