Cucumber fails when using json formatter

[h...@renatorodrigues.me]

I'm setting up a job on Jenkins to run calabash-ios and return the results in json but it fails while if I use the pretty formatter, it works without problems. Cucumber returns json successfuly if using my main account (renato.miguel) but fails on Jenkins (jenkins account).

Feature: Running a test
  As an iOS developer
  I want to have a sample feature file
  So I can begin testing quickly

While writing this post, I've tried two more times to run this job. The first attempt. it generated successfuly the json. Second one failed as most of the times.

thank you thank you thank you for the _formatting_ 

+1

the problem has nothing to do with the cucumber formatters:

# this is known bug with Xcode 5.1 + calabash 0.9.167 + simulator

# we are working on a fix

AXError: Could not auto-register for pid status change

The workaround is to rollback to Xcode 5.0.2 or turn on Accessibility in the iOS Simulator.

Thank you, Joshua. Glad to know the reason of the problem. With physical devices, the Accessibility stuff applies too?

No.  

Xcode 5.1 + calabash + physical devices = no problems.
