Bug #10858: File.expand_path on Windows does not handle drive-current path if 2nd arg is relative
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10858
* Author: Daniel Berger
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee:
* ruby -v: ruby 2.2.0p43 (2015-02-06 revision 49530) [i386-mswin32_120]
* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
On Windows, if the first argument to File.expand_path is a drive-current path, and the dir argument is relative, you get a bogus result:
irb(main):001:0> File.expand_path("c:foo", "bar")
=> "C:/Users/djberge/Repositories/bar/c:foo"
Compare that with Ruby 1.8:
irb(main):002:0> RUBY_VERSION
=> "1.8.7"
irb(main):003:0> File.expand_path('c:foo', "bar")
=> "C:/Users/djberge/Repositories/bar/foo"
