Cucumber, IronRuby, Exasperation
I’ve spent the last couple of days trying to get IronRuby running Cucumber on my Win7 machine. I’ve hit a wall with it and I’m appealing to anyone who can help me.
I followed this tutorial: http://blog.webintellix.com/2009/10/how-to-use-cucumber-with-net-and-c.html
And when I reached step 5 and executed ‘icucumber features’ (in my case I called the batch file icuc.bat for brevity) I get this result:
Fail. Incidentally I’m using Ruby 1.9.1 and IronRuby 1.0 RC 1 which at the time of writing are the latest versions. I updated the paths given in the tutorial to match the appropriate paths on my machine.


Here are my iCucumber scripts: http://gist.github.com/273149
Drop them into C:IronRubybin
Have you got IronRuby RC? Also have you installed Cucumber using igem ? I’m expecting this could be your issue. Also, make sure you have ir.exe in your PATH.
I haven’t used 1.9 yet, still on 1.8 however IronRuby doesn’t have any dependencies on Ruby itself. They live independently.
Hope that helps, if not I’ll have another think

Just gave that a go, it printed a load of promising lines to the console as it installed, but I get the same output when I try executing cucumber…
Yeah it’s IronRuby 1.0 RC 1.

AFAIK, as of late, you can’t install Cucumber on IronRuby
