Thanks, just to make sure what ever  changes I make I want to test it both in 
Windows and *nix world.

Glad the spec stuff worked. 
 
I have tried to compile IR on Mono, but there are some patches that need to be 
applied first, I’m not sure where those patches are. I also ran into a problem 
on Mac with filename and folder casing not matching the csproj file. I would 
consider Mac as a *nix platform. It has all the stuff I look for (mainly bash, 
and the UNIX system underneath.

Thanks Jim, I have a test program that I run in windows with all the spec 
against ruby and against IR. It then compare the results and there is where I 
found this problem. yes, you are correct with your change. I think we can go 
with the change suggested.
By the way, did anyone compiled Ironruby on Mono? I finally got the mono 
installed and would like to try to compile it to run the spec on Mac this week. 
Do you guys consider Mac as *nix environment?
Thanks,
Unni

Well, it’s not as simple as that. The spec as written is for *nix paths, where 
///// is root. So on one side we should move towards ///// returning the 
current drive. On the other hand, the notation // represents a UNC file path, 
which theoretically should resolve to a form of //server/share. I don’t know 
what CRuby wants dirname to return, and I also don’t know if we are going to 
deviate at all. I know that it currently returns //, but if you search for this 
function, there is some discussion about how it should behave, and I’m not sure 
how it resolved. For now, I’d suggest turning it into:
 
                platform_is_not :windows do
                                File.dirname(‘/////’).should == ‘/’
                end
                platform_is :windows do
                                File.dirname(‘/////’).should == ‘//’
                end
 
That will keep it working on *nix.

I think the following spec is wrong for FileOps.dirname
 
It is
 
    File.dirname('/////').should == '/'
 
but it should be 
 
    File.dirname('/////').should == '//'
 
If it is my misunderstanding, please let me know. 
 
Thanks,
