File.dirname normalization differs from MRI
-------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-4863
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-4863
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core Classes/Modules
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.5.1
Environment: JRuby 1.5.1, Ubuntu 10, OpenJDK 1.6
Reporter: Daniel Berger
MRI strips additional leading slashes with File.dirname:
{noformat}
File.dirname("////foo/bar/baz") => /foo/bar (MRI)
File.dirname("////foo/bar/baz") => ////foo/bar (JRuby)
{noformat}
However, I'm not sure if this "normalization" is intentional in MRI or
accidental, because it only seems to work on *leading* slashes in MRI:
{noformat}
File.dirname("////foo//bar/baz") => /foo//bar (MRI)
File.dirname("////foo//bar/baz") => ////foo//bar (JRuby)
{noformat}
I'd say the spec needs to be fleshed out. Either the path should be completely
normalized, or not at all.
