Hi,
I''m testing the RC2 and find this bug while trying to run rails
script/dbconsole
E:\>ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-mswin32]
E:\>ruby -e ''exec "notepad.exe",
"test.txt"''
-e:1:in `exec'': No such file or directory - notepad.exe (Errno::ENOENT)
from -e:1
E:\>ruby -e ''exec "notepad",
"test.txt"''
E:\>ruby -e ''exec "notepad.exe"''
Note there is an error when I do exec ''notepad.exe'',
''test.txt''
Compare with the ruby in InstantRails 2.0:
C:\rails2\rails_apps>ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]
C:\rails2\rails_apps>ruby -e ''exec "notepad.exe",
"test.txt"''
C:\rails2\rails_apps>ruby -e ''exec "notepad",
"test.txt"''
C:\rails2\rails_apps>ruby -e ''exec "notepad.exe"''
There is no such error. A regression perhaps?

There is a discussion about that on ruby-core: http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/20606 This is pure ruby problem, and currently we are bound to the binary releases officially made. I cannot suggest more than raise this issue to Ruby redmine, and hope you get heard. http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/ Regards, -- Luis Lavena AREA 17 - Perfection in design is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.

Yes, these changes were introduced in ruby itself, is not RubyInstaller (One-Click). Since we updated the reference Ruby to p287, now we are seeing those. Changes has been integrated in ruby-core for 1.9 and I believe soon these will be merged in 1.8 branch. -- Luis Lavena AREA 17 - Perfection in design is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.
