win32utils devel - Jun 2006 - win32-service cvs - potential issue with Service.services

Hi all,

I''m preparing win32-service for an 0.5.1 release.  I''ve made a
couple
minor changes and altered the test suite a bit.  It passes on my box 
here, except that about half the time I get this error:

1) Error:
test_services(TC_Win32Service):
Win32::ServiceError: OpenService() call failed: The handle is invalid.
    test/tc_service.rb:227:in `services''
    test/tc_service.rb:227:in `test_services''

45 tests, 145 assertions, 0 failures, 1 errors

If I run this test by itself via -n test_services, it always passes.  Is 
this just an issue with interaction with Test::Unit itself?  Or am I 
leaving a filehandle open somewhere that I''ve missed?

I''m not going to sweat it too much, but I thought I would ask for 
another pair of eyes.

Regards,

Dan

I don''t know why, but if I commented out the line #1082 of serivce.c
like this:
//         CloseServiceHandle(hSCService);
 the test works without errors.

Hm....maybe this remark has something to do with it:

The *CloseServiceHandle* function does not destroy the service control 
manager object referred to by the handle. A service control manager 
object cannot be destroyed.

My guess is that it''s related to Test::Unit''s threading
somehow.  I''m
not going to worry about it for now.  Expect a release soon. :)
