Calabash-Android on Windows

I am not sure if this is topic is already discussed recently, but I´m getting really frustrated searching the web on my own, trying several guides and fixes. I´ve done so much stuff I cannot really tell what I already did :(

So I´m trying to run Calabash-Android on Windows 10 64bit, I followed the steps on https://github.com/calabash/calabash-android, I installed ruby, Ant and the DevKit. When I now try to run a test with: 

calabash-android run app-release.apk

I get an output like this:

*** WARNING: You must use ANSICON 1.31 or higher (https://github.com/adoxa/ansicon/) to get coloured output on Windows

So I googled this first error "Warning cannot load such file[...], found multiple results, tried this https://github.com/cucumber/gherkin/issues/320, tried: 

gem install gherkin --platform=ruby

got an output like this:

I´m quite sure I did several fixes, but nothing worked for me, maybe you guys can help me? Really need to make this work. Maybe I just missed some little detail?

Solution

  • For everybody wondering, I fixed this issue by removing all components and installing them again. I can not explain why it now works, but it does.
