Description updated ---------------------------------------- Feature #7981: ruby does not respect -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7981#change-37184 Author: mpapis (Michal Papis) Status: Open Priority: Low Assignee: Category: Target version: =begin in ((%ruby --help%)) I have found: Usage: ruby [switches] [--] [programfile] [arguments] so I have tried this example: $ echo 'puts :ok' | ruby -- --params > ruby: No such file or directory -- --params (LoadError) I have assumed that ((%[argumments]%)) are independent from ((%[programfile]%)) In the current state of code the help message should be: Usage: ruby [switches] [--] [programfile [arguments]] But I would prefer that it would be fixed and anything after ((%[--]%)) that is not program gets ignored, so we can use the shell style: $ echo 'echo "args:$*:"' | bash -s -- --params > args:--params: =end -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
