Re: I'm having a couple of nuisance things happening with jruby and rspec

Testing RSpec

Jay,

Yes, I have done this and yes I don’t get any error messages. But the
command ran from rake fails and rake aborts. It is like the rake task
in rspec using Kernal.system is returning with a negative false here in
the code:

line 176 in lib/spec/rake/spectask.rb

          unless system(cmd)
            STDERR.puts failure_message if failure_message
            raise("Command #{cmd} failed") if fail_on_error
          end

the cmd does not fail, but returns false. failure_message is nil
obviously.

Is this a jruby issue? a jruby on windows issue? Hard to figure out
why it returns false when the command works.
