cannot load such file — 2.2/gherkin_lexer_en, how to fix?

Question

I need a little help. How do I resolve this problem?

When I call cucumber I get the following error:

  *** WARNING: You must use ANSICON 1.31 or higher (https://github.com/adoxa/ansic
on/) to get coloured output on Windows
WARNING: cannot load such file -- 2.2/gherkin_lexer_en
Couldn't load 2.2/gherkin_lexer_en
The $LOAD_PATH was:
lib
C:/Ruby22/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/cucumber-1.3.19/bin/../lib
C:/Ruby22/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/builder-3.2.2/lib

C:/Ruby22/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/gherkin-2.12.2-x86-mingw32/lib
[...]

System:

• Windows 8.1 x64
• Ruby 2.2.1 installer

I got answer: https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/issues/830#issuecomment-90837546

I'm afraid Cucumber on Windows/Ruby requires ruby 2.0.0 (x86). The reason is that the gherkin gem doesn't yet ship with compiled binaries for more recent versions or Ruby, and not for x64.

We're working on a Gherkin3 which will address this issue. See this post for background. I cannot give you an ETA, but it's at least a few months away.

Answer 1

• I download Ruby 2.0 x86 from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/
• Install exe
• Command in cmd: gem install calabash-android
• ERROR: Error installing calabash-android: The 'json' native gem requires installed build tools.
• Download from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ DevKit-mingw64-32-4.7.2-20130224-1151-sfx.exe
• Extract DevKit to path C:\Ruby200\DevKit
• Run cd C:\Ruby200\DevKit
• Run ruby dk.rb init
• Run ruby dk.rb review
• Run ruby dk.rb install
• And again use command gem install calabash-android

Answer 2

I have simply solved by removing Gherkin and reinstalling it by bundle install

gem uninstall gherkin
>> select all
bundle install
