Subject: win32-open3 Issue

Hi All,

Have a small issue with the win32-open3 gem. I have written a code for
running commands and capturing the output and error using the
win32-open4(win32-open3-19) gem in the windows platform. This is working
properly.

  Open4.popen4(command_to_be_executed) do |stdin,stdout,stderr,pid|
   ..... code logic
  end

I also have written specs to validate the logic. When running the specs
individually like "spec spec/file_name_spec.rb" or by running on the
spec directory like "spec spec/", the specs are able to run
successfully.

Now, I wanted to invoke these specs with the rake and added a rake task
"rake spec" in the Rakefile of the root directory. when the rake spec is
run, there is an error which is being thrown telling that
"fork() function is unimplemented on this machine"

We can see that instead of the "win32-open3" functionality, the default
open3 functionality is being invoked.

Requiring the 'win32-open3' in the spec_helper, the rake file and other
dependent places also didn't work either.

Please can anybody help in this regards.

Thanks in advance for the help.
Sandy
