Failure in Windows 7 about launchy

[copiousfreetime]

can you put ENV['LAUNCHY_DEBUG'] = 'true' at the top, run again and then send me that info ?

[jphastings]

Here you go:

LAUNCHY_DEBUG: Launchy::Browser : Using 'start' command on windows.
LAUNCHY_DEBUG: Launchy::Browser : Using application list : start
LAUNCHY_DEBUG: Launchy::Browser : Spawning on windows : start ["http://google.com"]
'http:' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Same on Windows XP...
LAUNCHY_DEBUG: Launchy::Browser : Using 'start' command on windows.
LAUNCHY_DEBUG: Launchy::Browser : Using application list : start
LAUNCHY_DEBUG: Launchy::Browser : Spawning on windows : start ["www.ruby-lang.org/"]
Nazwa 'www.ruby-lang.org' nie jest rozpoznawana jako polecenie wewn�trzne lub zewn�trzne,
program wykonywalny lub plik wsadowy.

Same problem, quick-fix:

replace this line http://github.com/copiousfreetime/launchy/blob/master/lib/launchy/application.rb#L158

with

system 'cmd', '/c', cmd, *args

Also this comment is wrong
# NOTE: the command is purposely omitted here because
# running the filename via "cmd /c" is the same as
# running "start filename" at the command-prompt

Because cmd /c is not an equivalent of start filename.

Thanks for the input, I'll be fixing this up in the next week or so.

Any update on this? I'm seeing the same issue and found the same bug.

[copiousfreetime]

Thanks for the patch. I need to review the various different window's cmd /c items, as it stands it works on xp, or at least it did the last time I checked, so if Vista and/or 7 have it different then I'll need a way to distinguish between different Windows versions, via ruby, in order to have it do the right thing for most if not all Windows.

Sounds good. I have tested on Windows XP SPK3 and Windows 7 (latest updates) and it worked ok. Thanks for the quick response!

[copiousfreetime]

new launchy version 0.3.7 released which fixes this, thanks mike.

[mikefarmer]

Thank you!

[copiousfreetime]

I have released launch-2.0.1 which includes java and hopefully better windows support. If you could test it out and let me know if you still see bugs, I would greatly appreciate it.

a few bugs cropped up in 2.0.1, so 2.0.2 is now out.

[copiousfreetime]

I have pushed 2.0.4. Please reopen if you see this bug still.
