Subject: [ruby-core:76604] [Ruby trunk Bug#12634] Ruby converts '*' on command line to a file name

Issue #12634 has been updated by Andrew Vit.


This is handled by your shell before passing to ruby. Compare:

~~~
ruby -e 'puts ARGV.inspect' *
["file1", "file2"]

ruby -e 'puts ARGV.inspect' '*'
["*"]
~~~

* Backport: 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
Repro:
- ruby script.rb *
- script.rb:
puts ARGV[0]

output:
<random file name>

expected output:
*

OS: Windows 10


This is annoying when passing glob as an arg. Also happens when passing anything starting with `*`
