Passing cucumber specs on windows

I had some trouble getting cucumber test features to pass on Windows due to directory separator differences, something like:

 Failing Scenarios:
-cucumber features/background/failing_background.feature:8 # Scenario: failing background
+cucumber features\background\failing_background.feature:8 # Scenario: failing background

There is an easy solution — run features with windows_mri profile, which results in the CUCUMBER_FORWARD_SLASH_PATHS environment variable being set to true.

Example

cucumber features/background.feature:93 -p windows_mri

Sunrise yesterday, the first day of summer time.

Perhaps the colours’re misleading — that camera has some vivid setting — but that is how it looked in real life.
