tc_ftype.rb tests are a mess!
-----------------------------
Key: JRUBY-3562
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-3562
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
Sorry for the strongly worded summary but I really don't know what the logic
was here. It checks that /dev/fd0 exists. It does on my system and it is indeed
a block device so that part is okay. But then it checks whether it's a symbolic
link, which it isn't, so @link gets set to nil. Subsequently the
test_ftype_link test errors because it tries to do File.ftype(nil). It even
sets @link to nil explicitly if none of the files exist. How is that supposed
to work?
I suggest you create a symbolic link in some foolproof way such as using ln in
backquotes. I don't think you can reliably create a block device so easily so
you'll have to skip any tests that require @block if one isn't found.
