Cucumber on Cygwin

[catalogs]

I posted a message requesting assistance with a Cygwin problem but it
has not appeared. This is my first posting to the Cukes list, which is
perhaps the reason.

[catalogs]

The original post did not appear so I will add it here:

Mac user and Win XP user collaborating (client dictates XP platform) -
rake cucumber runs OK on Mac
e.g.
43 scenarios (43 passed)
284 steps (284 passed)

checked gem list to ensure versions same on both platforms and updated
to ensure project the same but get the following on Win XP Cygwin

/usr/bin/ruby.exe -I "/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/cucumber-0.4.4/
lib:lib" "/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/cucumber-0.4.4/bin/cucumber" --
color --tags ~@wip --strict --format pretty
undefined local variable or method `capture_model' for main:Object
(NameError)
./features/step_definitions/pickle_steps.rb:4
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in
`gem_original_require'

Any guidance appreciated

Can you try running Cucumber with the --backtrace switch? I don't
think this is in Cucumber - #capture_model sounds too Rails-specific -
I would guess it's one of your plugins. Anyway post the backtrace and
we'll take a look.

cheers,

#capture_model is a pickle thing if I'm not mistaken. But yeah, backtrace might help ;)

So what's going on here at line 4?

Do you need to install the pickle gem on windows perchance?

pickle (0.1.21) already installed - same version as on Mac - would
that it were so clear

Thanks

Hi,

Check that you are requiring pickle in your cucumber env.rb file:

require 'pickle/world'

This is added by pickle when you run script/generate pickle. It is
overwritten whenever you run script/generate cucumber. For this latter
reason, the latest version of pickle now generates its own features/
support/pickle.rb file.

Cheers,

Michael.
