Nice work. For those on OS X, I've package up some similar functionality in a cucumber-screenshot gem.

Hi Abhi,

Try printing out the snap it command:

screenshot_path = DefaultWorld::DEFAULT_SCREENSHOT_PATH + ‘/’ + time + ‘ – ‘ + scenario_name + ‘.png’
cmd = DefaultWorld::SNAPIT_PATH + ‘ “‘ + screenshot_path + ‘”‘
# Add this line
puts cmd
%x{#{cmd}}

And check that it is well formed. Try running snapit on the command line to see if it works outside of cucumber.

Hi,
I use Windows Xp.
Watir – 1.6.2
Cucumber -0.4.2
I have followed steps mentioned above.
Whenever I execute failed Cucumber test, A window will pop up saying “snapIt has encountered a problem and needs to close.We are sorry for the inconvenience”
