There is ironterm-ansi-color as a library.

You have to copy both the bat file and the file without an extension on windows. The file without an extension is actually a ruby file. And what happens is. you start execute the batch file which in turn starts up ironruby with the icucumber ruby file (ir icucumer). In that icucumber there is code to load the rubygems library and basically require cucumber which actually starts the cucumber application. So it doesn't matter where the shebang line points to on windows that doesn't work anyway.</p> Sorry I only saw your comment today.

Gotta quick question, if I may. Under #2 above, on Windows, you say to “copy C:\ironruby\lib\ironruby\gems\1.8\bin\cucumber.bat C:\ironruby\bin\icucumber.bat”, but you make no mention of editing the .bat file to point to the newly copied “C:/.ironruby/bin/icucumber”. Doesn’t the .bat file still point to “C:/ironruby/lib/ironruby/gems/1.8/bin/cucumber”?

Also, do you know of a library for IronRuby that will allow the ansi colors come through for use in Cucumber? I can only read my console if I use the –no-color argument.

Thank you for your hard work and for the book!

When you copied and changed the name of the cucumber file to icucumber under Windows to c:\ironruby\bin and then copied and changed the cucumber.bat to icucumber.bat, did you edit the line in icucumber.bat to point to icucumber in the c:/ironruby/bin/icucumber or did you leave the defaulted "c/ironruby/lib/ironruby/gems/1.8/bin/cucumber"? If you did not change the .bat file, then you did not need to copy the cucumber file and change it to icucumber.</p> <p>On another note, do you know of any library for IronRuby to colorize the cucumber output to the console? I get gibberish unless I append "--no-color" to the end of the 'icucumber features' statement.</p> <p>Thank you!</p> Hello Ivan,

I have a question, if I may. When you copied and changed the name of the cucumber file to icucumber under Windows to c:\ironruby\bin and then copied and changed the cucumber.bat to icucumber.bat, did you edit the line in icucumber.bat to point to icucumber in the c:/ironruby/bin/icucumber or did you leave the defaulted “c/ironruby/lib/ironruby/gems/1.8/bin/cucumber”? If you did not change the .bat file, then you did not need to copy the cucumber file and change it to icucumber.

On another note, do you know of any library for IronRuby to colorize the cucumber output to the console? I get gibberish unless I append “–no-color” to the end of the ‘icucumber features’ statement.

Thank you!

I will edit it out I just wrote it down without thinking much. I did copy cucumber* first but then reconsidered against it because a .bat file won't work anyway.</p> No particular reason really.
