[Ironruby-core] Mspec errors. Where should I start contributing?

When running mspec (mspec -ci core\array\append) I get the following error:
  \Libraries.LCA_RESTRICTED\Builtis\FileOps.cs:524:in `ExpandPath'':
Invalid
argument - ~/.mspecrc (Errno::EINVAL)

Should I be getting this error? How can I resolve this?

I''d like to contribute. Where should I start? Should I be pulling items
from
the bug list:
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=browse&group_id=4359&atid=16798

Thanks in advance,

[Ironruby-core] Mspec errors. Where should I start contributing?

There should be no hyphen before "ci". However, using your command
(mspec -ci core\array\append) gives me a different error message saying
"Unrecognized option: -ci". So that may or may not be the same issue
you are seeing. Can you try running this : Unrecognized option: mspec ci
core\array\append? Also, the following which will run with MRI and give you a
baseline assuming you have ruby.exe on the path: mspec ci -tr core\array\append.

We are going to try to have better recommendations for contributions in the next
week or so. http://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby/contributing should have
this info, but it currently does not. For now, do you want to take a shot at
fixing the tags in
http://github.com/ironruby/ironruby/blob/cd988456fb3d102da84056e8e150d5376284cc8e/Merlin/External/Languages/IronRuby/mspec/ironruby-tags/core/string/to_i_tags.txt?
Would be great to get your first commit in, even if it''s a tiny bug
fix, so we know that the contributing process does not have glitches. And in
parallel, we can determine the best areas for you to contribute in.

Btw, if you missed my previous email, http://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby
should have all the information to build and run tests with IronRuby. Let us
know if there is anything missing there.

Thanks,
Shri

[Ironruby-core] Mspec errors. Where should I start contributing?

So it looks like there are 2 issues here. One is the immediate issue: You
don''t have %HOME% set, which is why this error occurs. Underneath that
there is a real issue: IronRuby isn''t searching for a %HOME%
replacement in the same way that Ruby does. Ruby can find ~ even if HOME,
HOMEDRIVE, HOMEPATH, and USERPROFILE are all unset. I''m not sure what
algorithm they use at that point.

So to contribute:

1)      We need you to follow the steps at
http://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby/contributing, especially the portion
about signing the agreement

2)      If you want to fix this error (which is going to be resolved in the path
referenced below), go for it, then send IronRuby a pull request on Github.
I''ll pull your changes in.

3)      If you want to work on something else, feel free to grab a bug from
RubyForge from the Triaged category after Tomas adds some more (Tomas, can you
add more bugs to that category :))

a.       Or, like Shri suggested in the other thread, choose a tag file and fix
all the tags

Let us know if you have any questions!

Correction this was wrong. IRB isn''t using Powershell''s env

[Ironruby-core] Mspec errors. Where should I start contributing?

I will fix File.expand_path to throw ArgumentException. I will also fix dev.bat
to set HOME if it is not already set.

I still don''t know why "mspec ci" runs to completion (without
running any examples) for me even if HOME is not set, and throws for Adam. Oh
well. Its not really important as HOME really needs to be set so that mspec
actually runs the examples. I think we have drilled in enough...

The Errno::EINVAL is part of the problem. MRI throws a ArgumentError with a
specific error message about HOME. I have that being rescued in the mspec
startup. We need to fix this case to throw a ArgumentError with the correct
error message.

Shri,

After setting %HOME% to %USERPROFILE% manually, mspec worked. Previously the
stack trace was:

        from script.rb:65:in `load''
        from script.rb:189:in `main''

Thanks again,

Can you send the full stack-trace so we can see why mspec is not dealing with
HOME not being set? Hopefully, the stack trace is being printed to the console.



Also, can you manually set HOME to something like c:\Users\username? If that
fixes the problem, we can update dev.bat to set HOME.

Adam, what exact version of the sources are you using? What platform are you
running on? Are you using dev.bat?



If I unset %HOME%, both "mspec ci -tr core\array\append"  and
"mspec ci core\array\append" run to completion, but the result says
that no examples were actually run. This must be because mspec cannot find the
default.mspec that dev.bat copies to %HOME%. File.expand_path("~") is
supposed to raise an exception if HOME is not set, but I do not get the
exception. Mspec must be doing some filtering. Can you send a full stack trace
so we can try to figure out why its failing for you.

MRI uses a different technique to set HOME (I''ll file a bug later), so
it might have it reset HOME for its spawned Ruby. We''ll look into it.
