That’s kind of odd that we have that shortname issue on a current gen  
OS. I have seen issues with time being off, I just didn’t realize it was  
a Redmond-centricity issue. See if MRI 1.8.6p287 or higher fixes the MRI  
tests, we might be testing something that changed in 1.8.7. None of the  
failures look to be region failures, although it wouldn’t surprise me to  
be honest.

I wonder if running it out of hudson’s account would cover up the  
shortname issue, although we do need to figure out what is going on  
there. Those other changes should get more tests passing.

I can move the timezone to UTC if that would help.

There are also different regions there from the US  
My region is Dutch (Belgium)

Tried it again and it works now. I took a quick look at the log at  
[http://ironruby.koolkraft.net/job/IronRuby/lastFailedBuild/console](http://ironruby.koolkraft.net/job/IronRuby/lastFailedBuild/console) and  
its good that most of the tests pass!

The test failures need more investigation but seem like fixable test  
issues:

• RubySpec B fails because of short file name vs long file name  
issue.

• ActiveSupport seems to fail because of timezone issues and the  
tests might need to be disabled like a number of other tests disabled in  
Merlin\Languages\Ruby\Tests\Scripts\ActiveSupportTests.rb which also  
fail with MRI…

• RubySpec C has this output. Don’t remember seeing it before:

Socket::IPSocket#getaddress raises an error on unknown hostnames FAILED

Expected SocketError but no exception was raised

• No idea about the Legacy test failures. There is no output  
unfortunately. We need to fix the harness.

Hi

I’ve set up a windows build server too. [http://ironruby.koolkraft.net](http://ironruby.koolkraft.net)

Same goes if you want an ironruby project to be added to the build and  
run after every ironruby build. Let me know and we’ll see about getting  
you set up.

## The ironruby build is failing because the tests are failing I’m not sure if that is meant to be the case

I remember now discussing the short-file name issue with Ray and Kevin a  
while ago. “Dir.chdir changes to the specified directory” was failing  
for them as well. This is a because of a bug in IronRuby in  
File.expand\_path - MRI has complicated rules of when File.expand\_path  
uses 8.3 file names whereas IronRuby always expands the file names to  
the full file name. The failure can be worked around by setting TMP to a  
non-expanding path. Or we can mark those tests as unstable to disable  
them.

About the Legacy tests, the output does point to a log file. Could you  
search the log file for the failing test names and send the output of  
those tests from the log file?

Btw, I was able to access [http://ironruby.koolkraft.net/](http://ironruby.koolkraft.net/) from home, but  
I am not able to do so from work. I tried “ipconfig /release & ipconfig  
/renew” but that did not help. Not sure if there is any issue when  
running from behind the company firewall.
