CLONE -Kernel.exec will not use a modified ENV["PATH"] to locate commands on
Windows
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-5856
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-5856
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core Classes/Modules, Intro
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.4, JRuby 1.5
Environment: Windows XP SP 3; Java 1.6.0; jruby 1.4.0 and 1.5.0
Reporter: Tricia Ball
Assignee: Vladimir Sizikov
Fix For: JRuby 1.6RC1
Demonstrate with this simple test:
* Create batch file: C:\testdir\batchdir\test.bat containing:
echo "This is test.bat"
* Create ruby file: C:\testdir\test.rb containing:
{noformat}
paths = (ENV["PATH"] || "").split(File::PATH_SEPARATOR)
paths.unshift "c:\\testdir\\batchdir"
ENV["PATH"] = paths.uniq.join(File::PATH_SEPARATOR)
Kernel.exec "test.bat"
{noformat}
* And run:
{noformat}
C:\testdir>jruby test.rb
test.rb:9: No such file or directory - test.bat (Errno::ENOENT)
{noformat}
* But using binary Ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-mswin32] it
works just fine:
{noformat}
C:\testdir>ruby test.rb
C:\testdir>echo "This is test.bat"
"This is test.bat"
{noformat}
I found this when trying to use Bundler's 'bundle exec' command, which uses the
same technique.
