databasedotcom-guide's Issues

Authentication error with client_id

I have reached out to salesforce to no avail. Your guide is the best plain english approach to using databasedotcom gem.

When trying to connect I always get the error:

Databasedotcom::SalesForceError: client identifier invalid
    from /Users/adam.mccurdy/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.1/gems/databasedotcom-1.3.2/lib/databasedotcom/client.rb:112:in `authenticate'
    from (irb):16
    from /Users/adam.mccurdy/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.1/bin/irb:11:in `<main>'

My best guess is that since all of my client_id keys have an underscore character in them that perhaps the databasedotcom gem is unable to parse such things.

My setup(with key details scrambled) looks like this:

client = Databasedotcom::Client.new :client_id => "3MRANDOMKEYCHARSFOROBSCURITYLYNvAT_ytwvI5RkuppeyWrZX_CqHCZVqtPUZzJz9_fBCNTU1FAbgKHGzf", :client_secret => "10000000000000005", :host => "test.salesforce.com"

client.authenticate :username => "[email protected]", :password => "myActualPasswordthenthistokenQ4fXYWflKjabcedefgrllgpQ"

Does the databasedotcom gem not escape those characters properly?

"thor guide:build" doesn't build documentation

I've gone through the steps in the documentation but when I run "thor guide:build" nothing happens. No error. Nothing.
