Subject: [ruby-core:45115] [ruby-trunk - Bug #6447] Win32::Registry#keys always returns [] even if there are keys


Issue #6447 has been updated by jonforums (Jon Forums).


I think it's a terminology thing, not a bug. Here's one more with subkey's containing values:

>> require 'win32/registry'
=> true
>> pdf = Win32::Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER.open 'Software\\PDFCreator'
=> #<Win32::Registry key="HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\PDFCreator">
>> pdf.num_keys
=> 2
>> pdf.each_key do |pk|
 |   pdf.open(pk) do |sk|
 |     puts sk.name
 |     sk.each_value { |v| puts "  #{v}" }
 |   end
 | end
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PDFCreator\Ghostscript
  DirectoryGhostscriptBinaries
  DirectoryGhostscriptFonts
  DirectoryGhostscriptLibraries
  DirectoryGhostscriptResource
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PDFCreator\Program
  AutosaveDirectory
  LastsaveDirectory
  Language
  PrinterTemppath
=> 2

Bug #6447: Win32::Registry#keys always returns [] even if there are keys

ruby -v: tcs-ruby 1.9.3p28 (2012-01-28, TCS patched 2012-01-30) [i386-mingw32]


ex:
require 'win32/registry'
@screen_reg = Win32::Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER.create "Software\\os_screen_capture"; @screen_reg['last_init_config_was'] = 3
>> @screen_reg.keys
=> []

also each_key doesn't do anything, as well.  The "each" method does work as expected however.  Sorry if this is a dupe.
