nrf52840dk, Windows 10 using VSCode, unit test issues

[_dave_]

When following the unit test example, and even with an alternate minimal implementation, I get the following error:

PS {nRF Connect terminal} > west build -b nrf52840dk/nrf52840 --pristine
[snip]
-- Found assembler: C:/ncs/toolchains/ce3b5ff664/opt/zephyr-sdk/arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/arm-zephyr-eabi-gcc.exe
CMake Error at C:/ncs/v2.7.0/nrf/tests/unity/CMakeLists.txt:54 (message):
  Unable to find ruby

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Is Windows 10 a supported host for unit testing?

Hello,

I don’t have an official installation script to share. The native_sim board relies on POSIX features native to Linux, so running it directly on Windows can sometimes cause dependency issues with Ruby, CMake, and POSIX. I recommend using Windows Subsystem for Linux, as setting up the native POSIX simulation environment for Zephyr’s unit testing and the nRF Connect SDK is not straightforward on Windows.

Kind regards,
