Cerberus on Windows

Just a quick one before a longer “Rails Continuous Integration” post but if you are trying to get Cerberus to work on Windows then after the gem install you have to set an environment variable yourself. Create one called CERBERUS_HOME with a value of C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\cerberus-0.1.1

Hi, Paul.

In fact HOME variable usually present on windows system, try to run

set HOME

So if it present then CERBERUS_HOME would be constructed as HOME/.cerberus

Also I do not recommend you to set CERBERUS_HOME to C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\cerberus-0.1.1 because when you reinstall gem (lets say to 0.2.0 that would be release in 2 weeks) your configuration files as well as fetched sources would be removed. I think it is not what you want.

So my recipe - only in case if HOME absent add CERBERUS_HOME variable. I would recoment something like this
CERBERUS_HOME = C:/work/cerberus
