Bug #8028: Shellwords.escape works incorrect under windows
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8028

Author: Shagabutdinov (Leonid Shagabutdinov)
Status: Open
Priority: Normal
Assignee:

Target version: 
ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0p0 (2013-02-24) [i386-mingw32]


Shellwords.escape works incorrect under windows (tested for Windows 7
x64), here is example:


Actual result:

irb(main):001:0> require 'shellwords'
=> true

irb(main):002:0> `echo #{Shellwords.escape( '123>' )} test` # should
echo "123> test", but echo nothing
=> ""

irb(main):003:0> File.read( 'test' ) # but writes file "test"
=> "123\\\n"


Expected result:

irb(main):001:0> `echo 132^> test` # the correct escape sequence, echoed
"123> test"
=> "132> test\n"


Tested for "ruby 2.0.0p0 (2013-02-24) [i386-mingw32]", ruby 1.9.3, but this bug can be found in earlier ruby versions as well.

I don't believe `Shellwords` is intended to work on Windows at all. According to the comments (https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/ee2ddf5411f51ea89a1569ea5d70b41cd4c6c7f2/lib/shellwords.rb#L3-L6):

~~~
# == Manipulates strings like the UNIX Bourne shell
#
# This module manipulates strings according to the word parsing rules
# of the UNIX Bourne shell.

[ruby-core:90871] [Ruby trunk Bug#8028][Rejected] Shellwords.escape works incorrect under windows

[nobu]

Issue #8028 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada).

Description updated
Status changed from Open to Rejected

Escaping ways are various across shells, not only Windows.
Use `system` with an array, e.g., `system('echo', '123>')`.
