I've done very little testing, but I think I've successfully implemented the
[ruby-talk:5421] File.expand_path(), second arg?
I just got:
brains hgs 33 %> ruby -v -e 'File.expand_path("finder.rb", nil)'
ruby 1.6.1 (2000-09-27) [sparc-solaris2.5.1]
-e:1:in `expand_path': failed to convert nil into String (TypeError)
from -e:1
brains hgs 34 %>
But the manual (1.4) manual says:
expand_path(path[,default_dir])
Converts path to absolute, and canonicalized path. Second arg
default_dir is directory to start with if
path is relative (does not start with slash); if default_dir is nil
or missing, the current directory of the
process is used. An initial `~' expands to your home directory. An
initial `~USER' expands to USER's
home directory.
expand_path("..")
=> "/home/matz/work"
expand_path("~")
=> "/home/matz"
expand_path("~matz")
=> "/home/matz"
I cannot see anything in the changelog about this behaviour changing from
1.4.x (i.e. the docs) to 1.6.x. Have I got something wrong, or have I
really found a bug?
