Ocra stopped working

[Stuart Hunt]

I've been using ocra with Ruby 1.9.3 happily for I think 10 months now...

Suddenly, I tried packaging a project I've been working on for quite a long time and I got an error message. I didn't update ruby, I didn't update ocra, nothing changed but the code for the project itself, but suddenly it doesn't build it now. I tried simplifying the command so there are no fancy arguments (simplified from "ocra --chdir-first --windows DarkStar.rb lib/*" to "ocra DarkStar.rb"), but I still get the same error.

Here's what happened when I tried to package my program:

(this has happened no matter how many or how few arguments I pass in)

~/Dropbox/DarkStar> ocra DarkStar.rb

The syntax of the command is incorrect.

Just now, I used git to revert all of my code back to a prior state when I was able to build successfully, and it still failed with the same error message proving that the code is not the cause.

[Stuart Hunt]

...for even more proof, I created a helloWorld.rb file containing a simple puts statement, and I still get the same error message if I try "ocra helloWorld.rb".

After I started having the problem, I updated ocra, but the problem still persists.

Just a quick scan but it look like there is 1.9.1 gems w 1.9.3 ruby?

I didn't notice that... I just took a quick look, and every gem I've ever installed with 1.9.3 ruby is under that directory.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I had the exact same problem and found a solution for me at https://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/4408575
Look in regedit for
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun
In my case ANSICON (installed for Cucumber colors) added a line here which apparently broke the LZMA part of ocra (with the failure, ocra worked with --no-lzma option)

I have found ANSICON to interfere with other programs as well, for example, the version of unix 'which' I had installed (would simply crash). It appears to be quite invasive.
