Thanks for tracking that down. I non-array value for @executables will
cause grief when calculating default_executable. Essentially the 'size'
method will fail.
I've gone through the code and did a spot check for other potential
problems, fixed one or two other places and added a few tests for
pathologically bad values. The problem is that *any* instance variable
might be wrong and therefore any code that messes with the instance
variables is suspect.
I really wish I could understand why these values are so messed up in
the spec. Looks like everything is hunky-dory in the yaml file. The
only thing I can think of is that the spec data is corrupted during the
marshal/unmarshal process. Since this seems to be primarily a JRuby
issue, it makes me wonder if there is a problem with JRuby marshalling.
Anyways, lacking more specific information, we will continue to battle
these errors. I have released a new beta with the fixes (version
0.9.0.10). Feel free to pick it up and run it against JRuby again.
(Question: Is the JRuby marshall format the same as standard Ruby's?
Do the JRuby gem and the standard gem both store their marshalled cache
files in the same place? Are they possibly interfering with each other?)
