Pry fails in before_session hook on JRuby 1.7.3

Not sure where this question belongs since it might be a problem with
either Pry or JRuby: When running pry on JRuby 1.7.3 the following error
is thrown at session start:

jerry@nostromo:~$ pry
before_session hook failed: Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory -
/home/jerry
org/jruby/RubyFile.java:333:in `initialize’
(see pry.hooks.errors to debug)
[1] pry(main)>

This happens on Ubuntu 12.10 with JRuby installed via RVM. I’m using
Oracle Java (build 1.7.0_15-b03). The directory in question is off
course present.

Afterwards pry seems to be working more or less normally, though there
seem to be a general problems with File handling:

[15] pry(main)> f = File.new “/tmp”
Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - /tmp

Any hints how this might be fixed?

Regards
Jerry

ToconfirmJerry’s error, I get the same error on Linux Mint 14 (which is
based on Ubuntu 12.10), running JRuby 1.7.2.

Same file (RubyFile.java) and same line number (333).

Thanks for the pointer, Hirotsugu A… The problem on startup has been
fixed in pry:

The problem with File.new still remains, though. Since it also shows up
when using IRB I think it is JRuby-related.
