Complete setup guide for Ruby, Cucumber and Watir or Selenium webdriver on Windows

Step 1 – Install Ruby

Step 2 – Extract DevKit

Explanation/details:

Make sure you create a new folder, it extracts the lib and bin folders to that location, there is no root folder such as DevKit for example.

DevKit is needed because Cucumber requires the json gem. Without installing DevKit you would get the error:
ERROR: Error installing cucumber:
The ‘json’ native gem requires installed build tools.

Please update your PATH to include build tools or download the DevKit
from ‘http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads‘ and follow the instructions
at ‘http://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit‘

Step 3 – Install DevKit

Goto the root folder where you extracted DevKit and execute the commands:

Step 4 – Install the required gems

Explanation/details:

• Installing rspec because it is a commonly used gem.
• win32console supports colored output on the dos command line when executing the tests!
• watir-webdriver requires selenium webdriver, so that one will be installed always. If you only want selenium-webdriver, just do gem install selenium-webdriver instead.

When creating an install_gems.bat file including these commands, make sure to use the CALL command

Step 5 – Start with your Cucumber and Webdriver setup
