From: red stun Date: 2011-01-20T13:49:00+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:34642] [Ruby 1.9-Bug#4294] IO.popen ['"ping"', 'localhost -n 3'] fails Issue #4294 has been updated by red stun. Right, the case became more obvious when we're running commands whose path contains spaces. In 1.8.7 IO.popen only support cmd_string, not cmd_array, anyway, the respective form IO.popen '"ping" -n 3 localhost' works, and that works in ruby 1.9.2 too. ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/4294 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
