I develop in a heterogeneous environment. When I am working with Ruby on Rails on my laptop then I am inside the bash shell of cygwin running under MS-WinXPpro.
I also happen to favour a light green on dark green default terminal display. This renders portions of cucumber's output, under its default colour scheme, invisible on both Linux and cygwin. So, I have set up a custom ENV setting in support/env.rb. Thus: ENV["CUCUMBER_COLORS"] = 'passed=white,bold:passed_param=white,bold,underscore' When I run rake features this works exactly as I intended under Linux, but seems to have no effect whatsoever under cygwin. I am working around this by manually setting the session environment variable and I could make this solution permanent by altering my .bashrc script. I nonetheless would like to know why this Ruby setting does not seem to work in all cases. Is there a special syntax for cygwin/windows? Have I missed a step and the fact that Linux turns out as expected simply a coincidence? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
