I would like to see if MRI uses PATHEXT in this case, but I think from talking with Tomas, that it doesn't.

Then if MRI and IronRuby both have the same behavior for the spec, your patch would be correct. Ie. You can use TDD to figure out the right behavior.

Doing so ended up with an exception from RubyProcess.CreateProcess. I debugged and found out that RoR tries to execute irb.bat which is MRI's, so I modified rails-2.3.3\lib\commands\console.rb to point to iirb.bat instead. That didn't work as well. I continued and discovered that RubyProcess doesn't consider bat files as executables. I don't know if it's on purpose but in order to fix the problem, I added the bat extension to the valid executable extension list and set the full path of iirb.bat in rails' console.rb file. Am I doing something wrong or is my little patch correct? Thanks, Shay. -- -------------------------------------------------- Shay Friedman Author of IronRuby Unleashed http://www.IronShay.com Follow me: http://twitter.com/ironshay
