Selenium with ruby rails and webrat

Hi,
I have set up selenium and webrat with cucumber and ruby rails in Cygwin
on Windows DOS machine. I have everything working expect that when I
‘rake’ features, selenium is not starting up any firefox browser.

I have attached my sample project for the same. When I do ‘rake
features’ I get the below error. It looks like the script itself is
getting executed and not being validated by selenium.

Unfortunately, I am not a ruby developer and naive wrt selenium.

Hurry, I got this solved. One of my colleague pointed out this forum
which solved my issue.

I modified webrat gem source code to fix this. However, I didnot try
webrat config option. I wanted to play with working selenium for some
time.

Forum :::::

THanks!
