If you’re on an earlier version of Windows, you won’t be able to choose Consolas for the font, but Lucida Console is still better than the default. On a smaller screen, you’ll of course want a smaller window size and screen buffer.
I like the following settings (right click on the top left corner of the command window and choose Properties to set these): You may want to customize your command window to make it more pleasant to use. You’re going to be working in a command window quite a bit with Cucumber.Your mileage may vary, but let me know if you have any issues. I’ve tested this on a clean Windows 7 VM, and everything works.
It can be hard to find instructions for setting up Ruby and Cucumber on Windows, though, so I’ve compiled these to help my clients get started, and I thought they might be useful to others. With libraries like Capybara for driving web apps and JSON, RestClient, SOAP, and others for interacting with service apps, you’ll find testing in Ruby requires much less code than in C# or Java.
NET or Java web or service app, Ruby can be a great language for testing. The Ruby version of Cucumber isn’t just for Rails developers.
