Cannot install capybara-webkit on Windows XP using the tutorail

[A B]

Hello.

I can't install capybara-webkit on my Windows XP.

At first, I tried gem install capybara-webkit, and I got a known error, I didn't have Qt at all in my machine:

C:\Documents and Settings\User>gem install "capybara-webkit"
Fetching: capybara-webkit-1.0.0.gem (100%)
Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...

ERROR:  Error installing capybara-webkit:

Gem files will remain installed in C:/RailsInstaller/Ruby1.9.3/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/capybara-webkit-1.0.0 for inspection.
Results logged to C:/RailsInstaller/Ruby1.9.3/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/capybara-webkit-1.0.0/./gem_make.out

Then I read questions and answers here and on Stackoverflow.com and did everything that is said here https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit/wiki/Installing-Qt-and-compiling-capybara-webkit. I downloaded and installed Qt 5.0.2 for Windows 32-bit (MinGW 4.7, 650 MB) and made all the necessary PATH changes. Here are my steps beginning from 7 of the tutorial:

And here is an error:

        from C:/RailsInstaller/Ruby1.9.3/bin/rake:23:in `<main>'

There is no any

directory in 

C:/RailsInstaller/Ruby1.9.3/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/specifications

I use:

Rails 3.2.13
ruby 1.9.3p392 (2013-02-22) [i386-mingw32]

Was something changed since that tutorial? How may I solve the issue?

This looks like something is messed up with your Ruby/RubyGems/rake install. Can you paste the contents of C:/RailsInstaller/Ruby1.9.3/bin/rake?

This is C:/RailsInstaller/Ruby1.9.3/bin/rake as is:

#! ruby
#
# This file was generated by RubyGems.
#
# The application 'rake' is installed as part of a gem, and
# this file is here to facilitate running it.
#
require 'rubygems'
version = ">= 0"
if ARGV.first
  str = ARGV.first
  str = str.dup.force_encoding("BINARY") if str.respond_to? :force_encoding
  if str =~ /\A_(.*)_\z/
    version = $1
    ARGV.shift
  end
end
gem 'rake', version
load Gem.bin_path('rake', 'rake', version)        ##  this is 23rd line of the file mentioned in the error

I used RailsInstaller to install Ruby on my XP. It has its Devkit and I use it to build capybara-webkit.

Could you please answer these question? Because they are not clear in the tutorial:

8) Clone latest version of capybara-webkit from Github:

 $ git clone git://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit.git

Q: Where do I need to clone capybara-webkit? In which directory? Should it be C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby1.9.3\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems (all the gems are located here)? Or may it be any directory, for example C:\Documents and Settings\User?

... you need is Qt libraries v4.8.4 for Windows or higher

Q: I installed Qt 5.0.2 for Windows 32-bit (MinGW 4.7, 650 MB). May it be 5.0.2? Or should it be exactly v4.8.4?

Download the latest Ruby version and DevKit from here...

Q: The tutorial mentions RubyInstaller but I have been using RailsInstaller. I tried to use RubyInstaller but I can't because of my unsuitable CPU  (https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rubyinstaller/iUrmiLDO3LI/uJmlH3IQdqsJ). So may my RailsInstaller (its Devkit) be not compatible with capybara-webkit?

Also I posted a question on Stackoverflow about bundle install command. It seems it doesn't work for my subsequent attempts. It says the gems are installed but bundle show says they are deleted. May this cause an issue?

Thank you.

Hey,

Sorry for the delay. This fell off my radar.

You should be fine with 5.0.2. I've heard reports of issues with 5.1, but the 5.0.x release is supported.

I've never developed on Windows, and I'm not familiar with the differences between RailsInstaller and RubyInstaller. However, looking at your setup and the messages you're getting, I think this is a general issue with the way bundler and Ruby are setup and not specifically related to capybara-webkit. You may have more luck asking on the RailsInstaller mailing list.

-Joe
