Category: `gem install` command Group: None Status: Open Resolution: Accepted Priority: 3 Submitted By: Luis Lavena (luislavena) Assigned to: Luis Lavena (luislavena) Summary: Gem.find_home should expand all the paths, including Windows Initial Comment: On Windows, find_home look for environment variables like HOME, USERPROFILE and HOMEDRIVE + HOMEPATH The problem is that it directly assign the value obtained from it to user_home, disregarding if these variables contain slashes or backslashes. On fetching of gems, RubyGems uses user_home to download and store remote specifications and quick indexes, which uses FileUtils.mkdir_p to create the folder structure. The problem at this point is that FileUtils is not aware of backslashes and thus, failing. Having consistent slashes using File.expand_path will be more consistent and reduce the chances of errors. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: John Barnette (jbarnette) Date: 2010-11-13 05:40 Message: Agreed.
