Description

Not sure whether MRI has the same error or not, but it appears that ri is not handling impossible file names on windows properly:

Installing ri documentation for tzinfo-0.3.23...
Installing ri documentation for abstract-1.0.0...
Installing ri documentation for erubis-2.6.6...
Installing ri documentation for actionpack-3.0.3...
Installing ri documentation for arel-2.0.6...
Installing ri documentation for activerecord-3.0.3...
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (SystemCallError)
    Unknown error - Unknown Error (20047) - C:\jruby-1.5.5\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\doc\activerecord-3.0.3\ri\.\<

Can someone verify this with MRI? If it also happens on MRI then we need to create another bug elsewhere...

From twitter: "@tom_enebo: Looks like MRI is busted too, at least 1.9.1 on XP is: https://gist.github.com/724102"

If this is also busted on 1.8.7 then we have a trifecta. Looks like it may be a ri bug and not a JRuby problem.

usa (mswin64 maintainer of CRuby) said "@tom_enebo seem that there is no such problem on MRI trunk. I suggest that you should ask to the maintainer of rdoc/ri." http://twitter.com/#!/unak/status/10130415801081857

  • JRuby 1.8: NG
  • CRuby 1.9.1: NG
  • CRuby trunk: OK

I'll try mswin32 1.8.7 soon.

MRI 1.8.7-p302 fails with slightly different error message, but the root cause looks to be the same.

The workaround I used is

jruby -S gem install  --no-ri --no-rdoc activerecord

Filled in here because It failed on my in machine and had hard time figuring it out. Googlt hit me on this issue, still no workaround was mentioned.

I've largely lost faith in rdoc/ri generation on install. It seems like something that should be done at gem build time and shipped with the gem, which would force gem authors to deal with these problems.

We've considered just turning off rdoc generation during gem install...perhaps this is enough catalyst to do it for 1.6?

Since we match current 1.9.2 release of MRI still has this problem we should just defer this issue a bit...A later stdlib update will probably fix this at a later patchlevel of 1.9.2 (assuming the fix is backported from 1.9.3 master). Plus we disable ri/rdoc generation on rubygems by default now so I suspect very few people will ever even see the error anymore.
