Finished in 23.123 seconds. 353 tests, 986 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors Tested with one-click ruby186-27_rc2.exe running in a VirtualBoxed Windows 2000. (I assume the functional tests don't apply to Windows since the session gem is filled with forks.) http://github.com/quix/rake/tree/mainline-rake Pull request sent to Jim. I fixed a couple unrelated warnings/errors then dropped in my system() replacement to cover the remaining problems. That skipped test is no longer being skipped. http://drake.rubyforge.org/tmp/system_spec_new.html http://drake.rubyforge.org/tmp/system_spec_old.html http://github.com/quix/system/tree/master Should Rake fix Windows problems ahead of Ruby? Or if Rake aims to be a cross-platform command-line tool, while Ruby does not, then these aren't Ruby problems after all. I suppose I'll post the spec to ruby-core. James M.
