ri/rdoc do not page correctly
-----------------------------
Key: JRUBY-3413
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-3413
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Extensions
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.1.6
Reporter: Charles Oliver Nutter
The display program for ri/rdoc depends on being able to popen less/more/pager
to do paging of the results. The launch of the pager itself works fine in
JRuby, but it immediately terminates after a page of data, probably because to
a subprocess of the JVM it does not look like a real terminal. If there's a way
to make our popen look like a terminal to subprocesses, it would probably solve
this. For now I have forcibly disabled paging in ri, so it will at least output
the entire content.
