Launchy doesn't work with jruby?

Ruby JRuby

I’m using jruby 1.6.rc3 and cucumber to test my rails application.
I’ve installed launchy gem too.
When in a cucumber story I write:
.

.

“Then show me the page”

and I run jruby -S rak cucumber, it says:

fork is not available on this platform (NotImplementedError)
org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1744:in fork' ./features/step_definitions/web_steps.rb:218:in(root)’:in /^show me the page$/' features/authentication.feature:9:inThen show me the page’

I’ve forwarded your message to the author of launchy. I know that he is
working on some improvements and better cross platform support.

Thank you.

And I’m on the jruby list too :-). At the moment launchy requires the
use of
fork, which of course is not supported on jruby. I have a patch
submitted to me
to use the ‘spoon’ gem with launchy, which should work, and maybe I
should just
release that to allow immediate jruby support.

enjoy,

So I’ve to install also the spoon gem or wait for the patch released?

Wait for the next release of launchy which will have jruby support of
some type.

Great! I hope soon.

Hi,
Where is it documented (if anywhere) which native features of Ruby
are
not supported in JRuby? From this thread it is shown that “fork” is one
of
them.

In cucumber “show me the page” doesn’t work with jruby while works with
ruby.
