Status changed from Assigned to Rejected Seems Microsoft has fixed Windows. ---------------------------------------- Feature #1482: Kernel.exec doesn't respect COMSPEC environment variable on Windows https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/1482#change-67498 * Author: dolzenko (Evgeniy Dolzhenko) * Status: Rejected * Priority: Normal * Assignee: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) * Target version: 2.2.0 ---------------------------------------- Here is pretty convoluted test case: ```ruby puts ENV["COMSPEC"] # => "C:\WINDOWS\system32\mycmd.exe" File.open("1.bat", "w") { |f| f.write("time") } # create test batch file with command which waits for user input Kernel.exec("1.bat") # now the process tree inspection shows that the "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" is still used to interpret 1.bat ``` ---Files-------------------------------- 0001-win32.c-use-COMSPEC.patch (2.03 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
