2011-04-06 Thread Keenan Brock

I fought with the same thing, but since I've used cucumber to test iOS apps, there was no need to run it under MacRuby. It's a pain to switch between rubies all the time, but for now I run cucumber features under mri, and my specs under MacRuby. It would really be lovely to fix the issues causi
