[Ironruby-core] $HOME

[Peter Bacon Darwin]

Ruby 1.9 actually uses this order:

HOME

HOMEDRIVE + HOMEPATH

HOMEPATH

USERPROFILE

SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(NULL, CSIDL_PERSONAL, &pidl)

 

This seems reasonable.  I suspect mspec needs tweaking.

That's wrong.

The order should be:

  HOME
  USERPROFILE
  HOMEDRIVE + HOMEDIR

Using HOMEDIR without HOMEDRIVE (and the opposite) are bad ideas.

By the way, this is how $HOME is setup in mspec (on Windows):

 

    # Code to setup HOME directory correctly on Windows

    # This duplicates Ruby 1.9 semantics for defining HOME

    platform_is :windows do

      if ENV['HOME']

        ENV['HOME'] = ENV['HOME'].tr '\\', '/'

      elsif ENV['HOMEDIR'] && ENV['HOMEDRIVE']

        ENV['HOME'] = File.join(ENV['HOMEDRIVE'], ENV['HOMEDIR'])

      elsif ENV['HOMEDIR']

        ENV['HOME'] = ENV['HOMEDIR']

      elsif ENV['HOMEDRIVE']

        ENV['HOME'] = ENV['HOMEDRIVE']

      elsif ENV['USERPROFILE']

        ENV['HOME'] = ENV['USERPROFILE']

      else

        puts "No suitable HOME environment found. This means that all of HOME, HOMEDIR, HOMEDRIVE, and USERPROFILE are not set"

        exit 1

      end

    end
