How can I run Rails "script/[xyz]" commands on Windows?

Question

I am used to doing Rails development work on a Mac. However, now other developers will be working with me and they use Windows, both XP and Vista. I am trying to figure out the Windows environment so I can help them.

In OS X and Linux you have this kind of thing...

$ cd [Rails project root]
$ script/console

Tried it on Windows but all I got was "'script' is not recognized as an internal or external command...etc."

What is the Windows equivalent?

Answer 1

ruby script/whatever

That should do it for you.

Answer 2

Does:

c:\railsproject\> ruby script/console

work for you?

Answer 3

Have you tried issuing ruby script\console ? (Windows uses backslashes as path delimeters instead of foreslashes and doesn't support shebang syntax.)

Answer 4

rails path/to/your/new/application

cd path/to/your/new/application

ruby script/server

Answer 5

Get into your rails directory, then type:

ruby script/(your command)

Make sure that you have the path to ruby on your path - otherwise you need to do:

(path to ruby)/ruby script/(your command)
