I am using Rspec 1.1.2 on Windows XP SP2
I am receiving the following error when I run ‘rake spec’ from a brand
new
project:
C:/SVN_Projects/rspec/vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/runner/options.rb:107:in
`colour=': You must gem install win32console to use colour on Windows
(RuntimeError)
I have the win32console gem installed and the error still occurs. It
seems
that the require statement in options.rb line 105 is throwing an
exception
and I am not sure why. I have even gone to the extent of replacing
‘Win32/Console/ANSI’ with the absolute path to the ANSI file and still
no
luck. When I run the require statement in a console everything works
fine
and dandy.
Now if I remove the --colour option from the spec.opts file then it
doesn’t
need the win32console gem; however, I then receive this error:
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:100:in
`const_missing’: uninitialized constant Spec::Rails (NameError)
I do have the rspec_on_rails plugin installed. Can anyone offer me any
suggestions on how to troubleshoot this issue? Thanks in advance!

I’ll be looking into this tonight, since I already reported that, but
using rake and spec command only:
http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/5645/tickets/244-no-coloured-output-on-windows-due-missing-rubyopt
It seems that --colour affects not only lib/runner/options.rb, but
other places too.
Maybe we should change the behavior for windows and revert to false if
Win32/Console/ANSI is not found instead of raising a exception.
David, Aslak?

Thanks Luis,
I used the code in your lighthouse case and I am now able to load the
win32console gem. However I am still not able to run tests because of
the
second problem I that I mentioned before with the uninitialized constant
for
Spec::Rails. I see at least one other person with this problem, but no
resolution. Installation Trouble - RSpec - Ruby-Forum
Care to help me troubleshoot this issue as well? I’ve got the
rspec_on_rails plugin installed and my spec_helper.rb is requiring
spec/rails.
Thanks!

It’s weird since I had done the same step mentioned in that post and
couldn’t reproduce the problem.
Tried with and without rspec gem installed. Also tried using
script/spec, without problems.
Care to help me troubleshoot this issue as well? I’ve got the
rspec_on_rails plugin installed and my spec_helper.rb is requiring
spec/rails.
by CURRENT rspec tag, you mean the 1.1.2 release? can you ditch
vendor/plugins/rspec and rspec_on_rails and try again?
It’s truly odd.
Can you try removing the spec.opts, spec_helper files and ran the
rspec generator again?

Thanks for your quick response Luis!
I’ve actually gone to the extent of creating a brand spankin new rails
project, installed the plugins, ran the bootstrap, created a simple
table
with a simple test and I get the same problem. Anything else you can
think
to try?

It appears the second error was my fault. The new project I created was
using Rails 1.1.6 I created a new project using Rails 2.0.2 and
everything
seems to work once I put in your patch for the win32console gem.
Thanks!

Ben, will be helpful if you provide information about versions of
every part you’re using:
- Ruby version (ruby -v) One-Click Installer?
- RubyGems version (gem -v) (0.9.4, 1.0.1)?
- Rails gem version (rails -v)
- How you installed RSpec and RSpec On Rails (as plugins, using
CURRENT or what REL)?
- Is the win32console gem installed?
- The exact command you used to run the specs (rake spec, script/spec,
or just spec).
Also, please read my comments on this ticket:
http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/5645/tickets/244-no-coloured-output-on-windows-due-missing-rubyopt
If you have RubyGems 0.9.5, please update to 1.0.1 or revert to 0.9.4,
since that specific version is broken for Windows, as I commented
there and linked to my blog:
http://blog.mmediasys.com/2007/12/19/latest-rubygems-and-rails-is-a-deadly-combo/
HTH,
