IO#readpartial is non-functional on files
-----------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-2586
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-2586
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core Classes/Modules
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.1.2
Environment: Latest JRuby 1.1.2
Reporter: Vladimir Sizikov
jruby -e "p File.open('/dev/urandom', 'r').readpartial(16)" # ==> ""
And JRuby always returns an empty string from readpartial call, if IO object is
a File.
In ChannelStream.readPartial(), we check if the channel is a selectable channel.
And if it's not, then we just return null.
Since, in Java, FileChannels are not selectable, we always return null.
It would be better to print out some warning, or even NotImplementedError, to
notify users.
At the top of RubyIO.readPartial(), we have some checks that the stream is a
ChannelStream and raise NotImplementedError. Maybe, we should check for
selectable channel there in a similar manner?
