Confused - trying to run the specs

[thbar]

Hi,
I’m having a closer look at the source in order to attempt some work
around
system and IO popen.

I pulled the code, ran dev.bat etc. The build runs fine.

Now I’m trying to run the specs and something must be not quite right -
or
I’m not invoking the right modjo. Maybe some confusion with some
existing
install on the system, I’m not sure.

I’ve tried (U: is my github root):

U:>mspec ci core\kernel\system
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-mswin32]

Finished in 0.000000 seconds

0 files, 0 examples, 0 expectations, 0 failures, 0 errors
also tried:

U:\Merlin\External\Languages\IronRuby\mspec>mspec :core
U:/Merlin/External/Languages/IronRuby/mspec/mspec/lib/mspec/commands/mspec.rb:150:in
exec': No such file or directory - U:\Merlin\Main\Test\Scripts\ir.cmd (Errno::ENOENT) from U:/Merlin/External/Languages/IronRuby/mspec/mspec/lib/mspec/commands/mspec.rb:150:inrun’
from
U:/Merlin/External/Languages/IronRuby/mspec/mspec/lib/mspec/utils/script.rb:203:in
`main’
from
U:/Merlin/External/Languages/IronRuby/mspec/mspec/bin/mspec:7

I have no HOME var set. I tried setting it but it doesn’t seem to change
anything currently.

So any hint will help me go further here (I’ll continue diving in here).
Are
there some steps I should carry out ?

As well, is there an explanation of what “tags” are for ? Are these some
way
to track the specs that aren’t passing ?

cheers,

Btw, HOME should be set to %USERPROFILE% (something like
c:\Users\janedoe) for those who do not know what the value should look
like.

This does seem to be an issue with HOME not being set which Adam Khatava
was also running into. Can you try setting HOME before running dev.bat?
Dev.bat copies default.mspec to the HOME folder allowing the “mspec ci”
command to know where to find the tests. So setting HOME after running
dev.bat will not work.

I have a change for dev.bat to set HOME if it is not set already. If you
could confirm that setting HOME before running dev.bat works, then I
will know that my change is actually the right fix for your problem.

Tags are a way to disable tests. Browsing the ironruby-tags folder will
tell you what does not work. See
http://rubyspec.org/wiki/mspec/Mspec-tag for some info.

Thanks,
Shri

Hi,
I tried that:

set HOME=%USERPROFILE%
then dev.bat

then:

U:\Merlin\External\Languages\IronRuby\mspec>mspec :core
U:/Merlin/External/Languages/IronRuby/mspec/mspec/lib/mspec/commands/mspec.rb:150:in
exec': No such file or directory - U:\Merlin\Main\Test\Scripts\ir.cmd (Errno::ENOENT) from U:/Merlin/External/Languages/IronRuby/mspec/mspec/lib/mspec/commands/mspec.rb:150:in run’
from
U:/Merlin/External/Languages/IronRuby/mspec/mspec/lib/mspec/utils/script.rb:203:in
`main’
from
U:/Merlin/External/Languages/IronRuby/mspec/mspec/bin/mspec:7

U:\Merlin\External\Languages\IronRuby\mspec>echo %HOME%
C:\Documents and Settings\Thibaut Barrère

At this point there is a .mspecrc in HOME, and MERLIN_ROOT is set to
U:\Merlin\Main

Calling dev.bat first then setting HOME does not change the behaviour.

I also removed all known references to some IR version from my PATHs
(both
user and system), pulled the last ironruby bits, compiled again and
retried,
but it raises the same error.

Maybe it’s a cause: in which folder should I be before I call mspec ci ?

No idea what’s going on for the moment, any hint will be most welcome.
