Subject: [ruby-core:49469] [ruby-trunk - Bug #7374][Assigned] File.expand_path resolving to first file/dir instead of absolute path


Issue #7374 has been updated by h.shirosaki (Hiroshi Shirosaki).

Status changed from Closed to Assigned

It seems if the last part of the path contains * or ?, FindFirstFileW should not be used since FindFirstFileW expands wildcard.

Examples:
File.expand_path("foo/ab*c")
File.expand_path("foo/ab?c")

Code in file.c uses strpbrk(s, "*?") for that.

=begin
(({File.expand_path("./*", "c:)"}))
will give "c:/$recycle.bin" as result instead of "c:/*"

(({File.expand_path("./*", "c:/temp)"}))
will give "c:/temp/." as result instead of "c:/temp/*"

It looks like the first directory entry is returned instead of the absolute path.
