Hi all,

I am getting "Could not find a valid gem 'cucumber' (>= 0) in any repository... SocketError: getaddrinfo: No such host is known" error while trying to install cucumber. PFB the details:

"ruby -v"

ruby 1.9.3p484 (2013-11-22) [i386-mingw32]

"gem -v"

1.8.28

"gem install cucumber"

ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'cucumber' (>= 0) in any repository
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError) SocketError: getaddrinfo: No such host is known. (http://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)

"ruby dk.rb install"

[INFO] Skipping existing gem override for 'C:/Ruby/Ruby193' [WARN] Skipping existing DevKit helper library for 'C:/Ruby/Ruby193'

I have placed Ruby in C:\Ruby\Ruby193 and DevKit in C:\Ruby\DevKit paths.

Do let me know what I am missing.

The above error happens most of the time due network issues or incorrect proxy configurations.

Are you behind a firewall/proxy? Have you set it up properly using HTTP_PROXY environment variable or using the --http-proxy setting with gem install command?

Please run "gem help install" and read the documentation about "http-proxy" setting. It requires a URI that represents the proxy. Something like:

http://user:password@server:port/

Please update it to match your browser proxy configuration, set it using "--http-proxy" and try again.

You can make the proxy setting permanent by setting the environment variable HTTP_PROXY.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

Thanks. Was able to fix that error. But now I am stuck up at this one:

C:\Ruby\rubygems-2.1.11>gem install json --platform=ruby
