When I was testing the File.zero? I noticed File.zero?('NUL') failed. I looked
the code and it seems there is no special check there to exclude NUL as a not a
valid file. I created a constant
private readonly static string NUL_VALUE = "NUL";
and added a else clause in the trycreate method as
else if (path.Equals(NUL_VALUE))
{
result = null;
}
and now the NUL works fine for zero.
I have two questions with this regard;
1. Can I apply these changes and push in the patch?
2. When we run the rake spec, will it include following tests on Windows?
platform :not, :mswin do
it "returns true for /dev/null" do
File.zero?('/dev/null').should == true
end
end
It seems it does,
I haven't looked at the Rubinius to see how the platform is supposed to work.
Thanks,
unni
