tc_expand_path.rb tests wrongly assume that ~user == $HOME
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-3561
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-3561
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core Classes/Modules
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.2
Environment: Gentoo Linux, IcedTea6 1.4
Reporter: James Le Cuirot
Priority: Minor
I'm the unofficial maintainer for JRuby on Gentoo. For the first time, I've
been able to get more than just the first few tests to actually pass but
there's still one that fails and I don't think it's our fault. The tests in
tc_expand_path.rb, specifically test_expand_path_with_tilde and
test_expand_path_with_tilde_and_dir, wrongly assume that ~user == $HOME. You
would probably expect that to be the case so even I was surprised. Try this in
your shell as root.
symphony ~ # HOME="/tmp" sh -c "echo ~"
/tmp
symphony ~ # HOME="/tmp" sh -c "echo ~root"
/root
JRuby itself seems to be doing the right thing. It's just the tests that are
wrong.
