Forum: Ruby-Gnome 2 find_enclosing_mountpoint docs don't match reality

Hello.

From the docs:

find_enclosing_mount(cancellable = nil)

    Gets a GLib::Mount for the GLib::File.

    If the file doesn’t have a mount (for example, possibly a remote
share), a GLib::IO::NotFoundError will be raised.

This would imply that remote shares don't have a mountpoiont. The
opposite is observed:

 $ irb -rubygems -rgio2
irb(main):001:0> local =  GLib::File.new_for_commandline_arg 
"/somewhere"
=> #<#<Class:0x7f79e3627f50>:0x7f79e3627e88 ptr=0xdc88c0>
irb(main):002:0> remote =  GLib::File.new_for_commandline_arg
"smb://server/share"
=> #<#<Class:0x7f79e361ce98>:0x7f79e361cdd0 ptr=0xde9e70>
irb(main):003:0> local.find_enclosing_mount
GLib::IO::NotFoundError: Containing mount does not exist
  from (irb):3:in `find_enclosing_mount'

irb(main):004:0> remote.find_enclosing_mount

I don’t understand what you mean.

I would suggest that you take this to the gtk-devel mailing list, as I
suspect that this is behavior dictated by GLib, not Ruby-GNOME2.
