The problem is around lines is the execution workflow, when asked for
'rake' it will find it at line 1785 and return it at that time, since
eaccess(fbuf, X_OK) will always return 0 on windows (there is no way
to know if a file is executable or not.
The actual check for the execution flag is actually processed
starting
at 1802, but we never get there unless there is no file 'rake'
(extensionless).
What do you think will be best? fix the ruby behavior? or change how
rubygems create stuff.
I see quite difficult some of these changes get approved and
included,
since I don't get a lot of positive reactions to my comments on
ruby-core (you can say I can be just a pain in the butt).
A better look at this make me think is better send this to ruby-core
and get this fixed instead. What current Ruby is doing doesn't work as
expected, at least not in Windows.
I'll try create a small example and provide a patch to ruby-core.
assoc .=MaybeExecutable
ftype MaybeExecutable=c:\ruby\bin\ruby c:\pretend_posix\bin\execve %0 %*
set PATHEXT=.;%PATHEXT%
Or something like that. N.B. I got most of the way to the above
working, and hit some problems (I was working off a network drive at
the time, YMMV with more local drives, hopefully, the solution can
work).
Also, git solved this problem by implementing some compatibility
wrappers:

And the details of the Windows rules, at least CMD rules for launching
apps are in some more detail here:

Thank you again for your time.
