rspec users - Apr 2009 - uninitialized constant ActionController running Cucumber features in Aptana/RadRails IDE

I''m just starting on BDD. I installed the gems for webrats and
cucumber.
I also ran the following in the Ruby shell:
>rake gems:install RAILS_EN=test
>script/generate cucumber
These commands seemed to create the expected features and lib folders
in my project.

 I''m using the eclipse framework with Aptana and RadRails as my IDE.
However, when I run:
>cucumber features -n
from the Ruby shell, I get the following error:

./app/controllers/application.rb:4: uninitialized constant
ActionController (NameError)
	from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in

cucumber/cli/main.rb:34:in `execute!''

	from C:/ruby/bin/cucumber:19:in `load''
	from C:/ruby/bin/cucumber:19

Any ideas on how I can initialize this constant ActionController or
where the real error is coming from? Do I have to do some additional
includes in some of my files?

I uninstalled rails-2.3.1 and rails-2.3.2 and then
Successfully installed rails-2.3.2

==>Same error message

I think I''m going to try and lose the eclipse framework next. Just
another layer giving me a headache.

Thanks for your help,
Wayne

That did the trick. I blew out eclipse and reinstalled my Aptana
directly. Re-added my RadRails Plugin and gems Cucumber, RSpec, RSpec-
rails and WebRat. There was one clue I found that said when using
Cucumber with windows, I should insert the line 1 $KCODE='' ''
into my
features/support/env.rb file. It''s a great into article at

Thanks all again for the help,
