What are the steps of running Cucumber with IronRuby? Do I need to make a separate batch file called ICucumber.bat and then invoke it. Here is my ICucumber.bat file: @ECHO OFF REM This is to tell IronRuby where to find gems. SET MONO\_PATH=C:/IronRuby/lib/ironruby/gems/1.8/gems/gherkin-2.0.2-universal-dotnet/lib SET GEM\_PATH=c:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8 @“C:\IronRuby\bin\ir.exe” “c:\ruby\bin\cucumber” %\* Any ideas? ---

There is an issue with the Gherkin parser used by Cucumber. Downgrade to Cucumber 0.6.4, which does not use the Ragel-generated (native code) parser. It is slower, but it works.

I downloaded and install Cucumber 0.6.4. I deleted the Cucumber 0.8.3 folder but now when I run the following command. c: cucumber I get the following error: no such file to load – c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/cucumber-0.8.3/bin/cucumber ---

Hi Mohammad – That looks like your Ruby not IronRuby … Try running: ir -S cucumber ---

That might be the thing!! What does that -S stands for and where is it documented? Do I still need to make the icucumber.bat I guess not? ---

I swear I got it running at work but I got home booted my computer and ran the following: ir -S cucumber and I got the following: C:\Projects\IronRubyDemo\IronRubyDemoSolution\BusinessObjects\>ir -S cucumber C:/IronRuby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:827:in `report_activate_error': C ould not find RubyGem treetop (>= 1.4.2)\n (Gem::LoadError) from C:/IronRuby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:261:in`activate’ from C:/IronRuby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:296:in `activate' from C:/IronRuby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:295:in`each’ from C:/IronRuby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:295:in `activate' from C:/IronRuby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:68:in`gem’ from c:/ruby/bin/cucumber:18 On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 2:30 PM, Jimmy S. \< ---

No, actually, he is using IronRuby, but setting the GEM\_PATH to his Ruby implementation, which is those stack traces come from c:\ruby. Azam, first off, I’d recommend using the IronRuby 1.0 installer and not changing any other settings, like GEM\_PATH; you’ll just run into these simple configuration issues, and we all know how you don’t like configuration. =) Also, we’d prefer not to answer these configuration issues, so please used the installer. So, no need for a icucumber.bat file … just do “igem install cucumber -v0.6.4” (from an elevated command prompt). Then just running “cucumber” will run against IronRuby. ~Jimmy From: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid [[mailto:removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)] On Behalf Of Eddie Cianci Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2010 12:39 PM To: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] Cucumber with IronRuby V 1.0 Hi Mohammad – That looks like your Ruby not IronRuby … Try running: ir -S cucumber On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 3:27 PM, Mohammad A. \ wrote: I downloaded and install Cucumber 0.6.4.

Weird! I download the treetop gem and it started working again. Maybe it has something to do with my BLUE screen of death on Windows 7. ---

Note: if you have Ruby installed, it will still be ahead of IronRuby in the OS Path, so you’ll have to do “ir -S cucumber”. To answer your question on the previous thread, it’s documented on the ir.exe directly (ir.exe /?).

I’ve noticed that my recent addition of the ironruby.rb file in %IronRuby%\lib\ruby\site\_ruby\1.8\rubygems\defaults for Gem.default\_exec\_format allows RubyGems to set the correct variables in the scripts that a gem installs, such that you no longer need to do ir -S scriptname and you can instead do scriptname and it will be properly executed by IronRuby. Note that this only applies to gems installed after you add the ironruby.rb file. – Will G. [http://hotgazpacho.org/](http://hotgazpacho.org/) On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 4:28 PM, Jimmy S. \< ---
