The “Just Works” example errors out with latest Ruby on Windows

[Eekle]

Hi,

After installing the latest version of Ruby (3.1.3) on windows I can install the ceedlings gem.

I can then run ceedling example temp_sensor. However running ceedling test:all yields:

If you have the time to experiment, can you download the latest pre-release gem from the releases tab here on github, and install it manually like this:

gem install --local ceedling-0.32.0-336de41.gem 

Does this have the same issue? It's been updated to support newer versions of Ruby. It also has a lot of other improvements, but hasn't yet been fully validated.

That seems to have fixed it.

I'm still having this problem, even with doing gem install --local ceedling-0.32.0-336de41.gem .

***** Unit Test FAILED *****

I also tried the latest 0.32.0 release candidate (af02fcd), which equally didn't work.

I am using Debian 12 (Bookworm).

wget https://github.com/ThrowTheSwitch/Ceedling/releases/download/0.32.0-336de41/ceedling-0.32.0-336de41.gem
gem install constructor deep_merge thor
gem install --local ceedling-0.32.0-336de41.gem

Is there anything I'm missing?

I think you are updating existing project and your project.yml doesn't have all sections inside?

Thanks, that looks like it was it. Sorry, I may have highjacked an existing issue ticket, but.. is there a guide on what changed in 0.32 to require new sections? I'm new at Ceedling and have inherited an existing project. The new error seems to suggest :name (and :executable) are under the :tools: :test: and then :compiler:, :linker:, etc, as given in the new project.yml template? Though when I defined them, the error stayed the same?

EDIT: Nevermind, solved now. I upgraded the local ceedling instance, and that got past that error.
