It looks like the problem is this code which uses a Win32 API call that's probably outmoded.

This looks like a better solution:

Any chance in getting this fixed? I would like to use Relish but I am running on Windows 8.
Is there a work around?

[mattwynne]

There is a workaround @Stewartarmbrecht. We can manually create the token file. Email support@relishapp.com with your account details and I'll explain what you need to do.

Thanks but I just used cloud 9 instead.

@mattwynne This problem still exists and is preventing me from having my project's documentation added to Relish.

[mattwynne]

@enkessler I'm sorry to hear that. I'm afraid Relish is not a priority for us now - we're focussing on its replacement Cucumber Pro. Since I also don't have a Windows machine, it doesn't stack up for me to easily fix this.

I'd be happy to help you fix it, if you're interested to work with me on it?

[enkessler]

@mattwynne It's fine for now. I ended up digging up an older version of Ruby and using that to push out the docs.

Is there a timeline for Cucumber Pro?
