-----------------------------------------
Summary: JRuby does not look for .jrubyrc in home directory on
Windows
Key: JRUBY-6338
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-6338
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Environment: jruby 1.6.5.1 (ruby-1.8.7-p330) (2011-12-27 1bf37c2)
(Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_21) [Windows XP-x86-java]
Reporter: Claus Folke Brobak
Assignee: Thomas E Enebo
Priority: Minor
JRuby seems to be looking for the .jrubyrc file in the directory pointed to by
environment variable USERPROFILE. However, this may or may not be the home
directory of the user. I believe the "right" way to locate the home directory
is to use environment variables HOMEDRIVE + HOMEPATH.
The Microsoft documentation says:
HOMEDRIVE: Returns which local workstation drive letter is connected to the
user's home directory. Set based on the value of the home directory. The user's
home directory is specified in Local Users and Groups.
HOMEPATH: Returns the full path of the user's home directory. Set based on the
value of the home directory. The user's home directory is specified in Local
Users and Groups.
USERPROFILE: Returns the location of the profile for the current user.
Also, a number of other configuration files are located in the HOMEDRIVE +
HOMEPATH directory, e.g. ".gemrc", ".irbrc", ".cvsrc", "_vimrc" and
".gitconfig".
I should add that USERPROFILE and HOMEDRIVE + HOMEPATH would by default point
to the same directory. I our company this is not the case and this is specified
in Active Directory when a user is created by our AD administrators.
