Issue #238 has been reported by Jim Deville. ---------------------------------------- Bug #238: Ruby doesn't respect the Windows read-only flag http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/238 Author: Jim Deville Status: Open Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Target version: If you create a file on Windows, attrib +r the file, to give it read-only permissions, and then run Ruby 1.8 or 1.9 and do a Dir.delete on that file, Ruby will delete the file. It should probably throw a SystemCallError to match other platforms. This has been tested on Vista SP1 with Ruby 1.8 and 1.9. ---------------------------------------- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
