Description
def test_chdir

new_dir = "/"
assert_not_equal(wd, new_dir)
Dir.chdir(new_dir)
wd = Dir.getwd
assert_equal(wd, new_dir) # fails
end
Tom Enebo suggested this is caused by Java File.isAbsolute returning false.
The following is from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/io/File.html#isAbsolute()
On UNIX systems, a pathname is absolute if its prefix is "/". On Microsoft Windows systems, a pathname is absolute if its prefix is a drive specifier followed by "
", or if its prefix is "\\\\".
However, in non-Jruby Ruby, "/" works fine as an alias to e.g. C:\
Maybe if isAbsolute returns false, use what getAbsolutePath returns:
require 'java'
include_class('java.io.File') { |p, name| "J" + name }
myfile = JFile.new('/crap.txt')
exists = myfile.exists
is_file = myfile.is_file
is_absolute = myfile.is_absolute
absolute_path = myfile.get_absolute_path
puts "exists=#{exists}"
puts "is_file=#{is_file}"
puts "is_absolute=#{is_absolute}"
puts "absolute_path=#{absolute_path}"

exists=true
is_file=true

I'm not sure. It depends on the use case we're trying to meet here (which still isn't clear to me 
).
The Jvm and "java.io.File" do not canonicalize the "/". Canonicalizing the "/" to "C:/" is different than how the JVM behaves.

As convenient as it is, I might argue that Ruby is wrong here. Having / map to C: is convenient, but fails to accomodate additional drives. It would also fail mightily on my home desktop, where Windows XP is installed with D: as the root drive.
