Hi, I have set up selenium and webrat with cucumber and ruby rails in Cygwin on Windows DOS machine. I have everything working expect that when I 'rake' features, selenium is not starting up any firefox browser. I have attached my sample project for the same. When I do 'rake features' I get the below error. It looks like the script itself is getting executed and not being validated by selenium. Unfortunately, I am not a ruby developer and naive wrt selenium. ========================================================================== $ rake features (in /cygdrive/c/work/comcast/workspace/cucumber-test-pro) /usr/bin/ruby.exe -I "/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/cucumber-0.3.7/lib:lib" -S rcov --rails --exclude osx\/ "/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/cucumber-0.3.7/bin/cucumber" -- --format pretty features/google_search.featu Feature: When I am on google page, i should be able to search any string Scenario: Search a string in google # features/google_search.feature:4 ==> Waiting for Selenium RC server on port 4444...
