Relative path on windows
Reported by xelex | March 19th, 2010 @ 08:39 PM
Incorrect generator behaviour on Windows (it fails):
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/pathname.rb:709:in
relative_path_from': different prefix:<br/> "C:/" and
"D:/work/ruby/test" (ArgumentError)
from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.8.1/vendor/rails/railties/lib/rails_generator/lookup.rb:110:in `use_component_sources!'
from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.8.1/vendor/rails/railties/lib/rails_generator/lookup.rb:109:in `each'
...
System configuration:
Rails 2.3.5 + Ruby 1.8.6 + Win XP 32bit
Steps to reproduce:
1. Place ruby on a C: drive, place rails on a D: drive.
2. Use some generator tools.
3. Get the exception.
The root cause is in the lib/rails_generator/lookup.rb (line
110):
relative_path =
Pathname.new(File.expand_path(path)).relative_path_from(Pathname.new(::RAILS_ROOT))
The relative_path_from raises an ArgumentError in the described
case.
Workaround is to patch the lib/rails_generator/lookup.rb and catch
the exception.
Dirty patch is to modify the 110 line in
lib/rails_generator/lookup.rb:
begin
relative_path =
Pathname.new(File.expand_path(path)).relative_path_from(Pathname.new(::RAILS_ROOT))
rescue ArgumentError
relative_path = Pathname.new(File.expand_path(path)) end
