Piping input from Kernel::open throws NotImplementedError

Apologies for re-sending, but this never made it onto the ruby-forums
because of the previous outage.


Hi there,

I’m trying to get the AutoTest/AutoSpec script for Cucumber to work
under IronRuby. The cucumber_mixin.rb file (line 82) in Cucumber tries
to pipe input from a call to Kernel::open, and IR throws a
NotImplementedException when this line is hit.

This is easily reproducible under iirb if you execute: open("|
c:/windows/system32/notepad.exe")

Is this something on your radar to be fixed soon?

Many thanks,
Xerxes.
