Using Minitest handler on Windows

[Madhurranjan Mohaan]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the Minitest handler to run tests at the end of each test run on Windows but facing issues. I am running Chef 0.10.6. The chef_gem cookbook didn't work with an error so for now , I installed that gem and then proceeded to run a simple test using the minitest-handler cookbook .

It fails with the following error. This was the same error we found when I ran the chef_gem cookbook.

Needed some help around getting this to work.

Forgot to add that the same works perfectly fine on Centos.
