Bug #7133: [mingw] bogus TestProcess#test_execopts_gid test failure

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: -
• Target version: 2.0.0
• ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0dev (2012-10-09 trunk 37127) [i386-mingw32]

[jonforums (Jon Forums)]

On mingw windows builds, HAVE_GETGROUPS is not defined so Process.groups is not implemented

https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/process.c#L5389

Attached patch skips the test on windows and changes the output from

[15/74] TestProcess#test_execopts_gid = 0.00 s
2) Error:
test_execopts_gid(TestProcess):
NotImplementedError: groups() function is unimplemented on this machine
c:/Jenkins/workspace/ruby-trunk-svn/test/ruby/test_process.rb:1506:in groups' c:/Jenkins/workspace/ruby-trunk-svn/test/ruby/test_process.rb:1506:in test_execopts_gid'

to

[15/74] TestProcess#test_execopts_gid = 0.00 s
2) Skipped:
test_execopts_gid(TestProcess) [c:/Jenkins/workspace/ruby-trunk-svn/test/ruby/test_process.rb:1504]:
Process.groups not implemented on Windows platform

thereby enabling test-all to finish with 0 errors.

May Ruby be with you.

• test/ruby/test_process.rb (TestProcess#test_execopts_gid): skip on
  windows because the platform does not have Process.group method.
