PDFKit fails on Windows JRuby - IO.popen and Double Quotes
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-5692
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-5692
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Windows
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.6
Environment: jruby 1.6.0 (ruby 1.8.7 patchlevel 330) (2011-03-15
f3b6154) (Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_21) [Windows XP-x86-java]
Reporter: Brandon Hauff
PDFKit is a RubyGem for converting HTML/CSS to a PDF using the wkhtmltopdf
binary. PDFKit is using IO.popen to call wkhtmltopdf. The code is at:
https://github.com/jdpace/PDFKit/blob/master/lib/pdfkit/pdfkit.rb#L58-73
This code runs fine in MRI Windows, MRI Linux, and JRuby Linux. It fails in
JRuby Windows.
The error can be seen here: https://gist.github.com/902249
I had a hunch that all of the double quotes, seen on lines 20 and 21 in the
previous gist, were causing the failure. So I made a small patch to PDFKit to
test the theory: https://gist.github.com/902256
This did in fact allow PDFKit to work as intended. I think the JRuby IO.popen
on Windows must be doing something different/wrong from MRI, as the double
quotes don't make a difference there. On JRuby Linux it work fine as well, so
it is specific to Windows.
Thanks,
Brandon Hauff
