Helo, Is it possible to make autotest (from Zentest gem) run on RoR under Windows XP? When I''m trying to do it, it throws an error message: "couldn''t find HOME environment -- expanding ''~/.autotest'' " On Cygwing it runs OK. But I don''t want to use Cygwin as it is much slower than Windows.

You don''t necessarily have to have a .autotest file, but you will need to set the HOME environment variable. I use %userprofile%. See this for details on managing env variables in windows. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310519 hope it helps, Gordon --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
