Hi folks,

I tried to run the example of WordCout but I got the following problem:

E:\projects\word\_count\>rake test --trace  
(in E:/projects/word\_count)  
\*\* Invoke test (first\_time)  
\*\* Execute test  
c:/ruby/bin/ruby -w -I. -Ilib -r word\_count -e  
# dump language phrases _after_ exercising all code (and  
# thereby populating the phrases cache) in the project  
at\_exit do  
if ENV[‘dump\_lang\_phrases’] == ‘1’  
file = “lang/phrases.yaml”  
list = WordCount::PHRASES.phrases  
data = list.map {|s| s + ‘:’ }.join("\n")

```
        File.write file, data

        puts "Extracted #{list.length} language phrases into

```

#{file.inspect}  
"  
end  
end

```
    # set title of test suite
    $0 = File.basename(Dir.pwd)

    require 'minitest/unit'
    require 'minitest/spec'
    require 'minitest/mock'
    MiniTest::Unit.autorun

    Dir['test/**/*.rb'].sort.each do |test|
      unit = test.sub('test/', 'lib/')

      if File.exist? unit
        # strip file extension because require()
        # does not normalize its input and it
        # will think that the two paths (with &
        # without file extension) are different
        unit_path = unit.sub(/\.rb$/, '').sub('lib/', '')
        test_path = test.sub(/\.rb$/, '')

        require unit_path
        require test_path
      else
        warn "Skipped test #{test.inspect} because it lacks a

```

corresponding  
#{unit.inspect} unit."  
end  
end

It seems that is a rake problem with ‘sh’… Am I right? does anyone  
have  
gotten the same error? (and has solved it?)

thanks
