RDoc & multi drive windows systems
Recently have been looking into Azure Pipelines for Ruby trunk CI.
The VM images are set up with all the 'image code' on drive C:, and the repo is placed on drive D:. The temp directory is also on drive C:. Also, the temp dir is in the Windows default location, and the user account is 'builduser', which is longer than eight characters.
When running test-all, there were several errors/failures with RDoc tests, most involved something regarding 'prefix'. Some may have also looked to involve issues with short file/directory names, where a comparison of paths failed because one was short, one was not.
This issue also affected other things, so I've since moved the 'ruby' temp dir to the D: drive, and also removed any '8 character' issues. And, worse yet, I deleted the logs files showing the errors.
Some of this may be 'who cares', some may be Ruby issues. Regardless, if there's interest in looking into this issue, would it be helpful if I generated a log of the RDoc errors?
Thanks, Greg
