Thanks. I'm using Gem.win_platform? which does the exact same thing, to
handle Windows specific stuff. I was more interested in the equivalent of
which.
The over grown Rakefile has a lot of tasks that are only necessary for
making releases, some have 3rd party dependencies, and I don't want those to
get in the way of doing things like rake install or rake doc. There's a few
checks, but they seem to work on Unix and break with a bang on Windows.
So far what I came up with is:
def which(name)
if Gem.win_platform?
path = ENV['PATH'].split(File::PATH_SEPARATOR).map { |path|
path.gsub('\\', '/') }.map { |path| "#{path}/#{name}.{exe,bat,com}" }
else
path = ENV['PATH'].split(File::PATH_SEPARATOR).map { |path|
"#{path}/#{name}" }
end
FileList[path].existing.first
end
You can find it Java is installed by running which('java'). It seems to
work nicely, but I'm not sure how complete it is.
