Update May/26: An updated installer has been published that fixes the issue described below and is available through the download page.

The Dradis 2.7.1 Windows package (dradis-v2.7.1-setup.exe) that we released yesterday contains a typo in in one of the batch files: server.bat.

If you try to run the file directly or through the Start menu start server icon, you will get an error message:

Windows cannot find ‘blundler’. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.

In order to fix this open the file in an editor (go to the Start menu icon, right click > Edit) and adjust it to:


@echo off

::If the script doesn't work, uncomment and adjust the following:
set PATH=c:\Ruby187\bin;%PATH%
set RAILS_ENV=production
set BASE=%~dp0
cd %BASE%\server\

start "Dradis Framework Server (Ctrl+C to terminate)" bundle exec rails server webrick


Thanks to Doug Ipperciel for bringing this to our attention.

This week we are releasing Dradis Framework 2.7.1 which closes several bugs and brings a new note editor.

If you’re new to Dradis or upgrading from an older (2.6.x, 2.5.x…) release, go ahead and download the full package from the downloads page.

However, if you already have a working install of Dradis 2.7.0 maybe you don’t want to run the Windows installer again, or wait until your distro prepares an updated version of the package (did you know that BackTrack 5 shipped with Dradis 2.7.0?). Here is how to get the latest 2.7.1 code up and running.

Go to your install location:

In Windows:

c:\> cd %APPDATA%\dradis-2.7


In BackTrack:

# cd /pentest/misc/dradis


Backup the old server folder:

# mv server 2.7.0-server


Now you have a decision to make: upgrade to 2.7.1 or clone the Dradis repository so you can upgrade to 2.7.1 but also to any forthcoming releases (recommended)

Upgrading to 2.7.1

Download and uncompress the tarball for Dradis server 2.7.1 from GitHub:

Uncompress in the drads-2.7 folder renaming the extracted directory to just server.

Using git repository for easy upgrading

From the current folder, clone Dradis git repository and point it to the latest release:


# git clone https://github.com/dradis/dradisframework.git server
# cd server
# git checkout -b REL-2.7.1 REL-2.7.1
# cd ..


Reset the environment and run the server


# ./reset.sh
# ./start.sh


If everything goes according to plan, you can now access Dradis on https://localhost:3004/ and in the top-right corner the version number will be 2.7.1.

A couple of weeks ago, BackTrack 5 was released and it shipped with Dradis 2.7 out of the box. You can find your Dradis install in:


/pentest/misc/dradis


Run ./reset.sh to prepare the environment and ./start.sh to start the Dradis server.

Kudos to the BT team.
