jruby 1.3.0 windows vista issues: doesn't output helpful error if JAVA_HOME
undefined, and JAVA_HOME path defined in quotes not supported
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-3738
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-3738
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Windows
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.3
Environment: Windows Vista, JRuby 1.3.0, Java 1.6
Reporter: Gary S. Weaver
Priority: Minor
Tried jruby 1.3.0 on windows vista this morning and found out that:
if I do:
set JAVA_HOME=
jruby -version
I get:
The system cannot find the path specified.
(it should probably state that JAVA_HOME must be set)
if I do:
JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_13"
I get:
Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_13\"" was unexpected at this time.
if I do the following:
set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_13
jruby -version
I get:
jruby 1.3.0 (ruby 1.8.6p287) (2009-06-03 5dc2e22) (Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
1.6.0_13) [x86-java]
(works)
Note that one user said on list it is normal/preferred to not supports quotes
around environment variable value in vista, so whatever is best for that one.
Charlie said "Can you toss this into a bug? It's a good find, and we should fix
it. I know that error has confused users and us many times in the past."
