Unable to pass command line arguments in Ruby 2.0.0
ruby, windows
Solution
Other people had similar problems with Vista and Ruby 1.9 in the past. It seemed to be related to manual modifications or broken uninstalls of old versions.
A clean install of "rubyinstaller-2.0.0-p247-x64.exe" on Windows 7 works for me. The `assoc` and `ftype` commands do not know about ruby.
> assoc .rb
File association not found for extension .rb
> ftype rbfile
File type 'rbfile' not found or no open command associated with it.
I'd suggest you unset these values by starting a Shell as Administrator and running `ftype rbfile=` and `assoc .rb=`. If this doesn't help (make a backup and) delete all registry keys containing `rbfile`. The correct keys use `RubyFile` or `RubyWFile`. The InnoSetup Script contains the correct registry entries.
Problem
I just installed Ruby 2.0.0 on Windows 7 (using "rubyinstaller-2.0.0-p247-x64.exe"). I think the File associations are OK: ``` $> assoc .rb .rb = rbfile $> ftype rbfile rbfile="C:\Ruby200-x64\bin\ruby.exe" "%1" %* ``` However, I cannot pass any arguments to the interpreter. So if I run a simple script (test.rb): ``` puts ARGV[0] ``` it gives nothing: ``` >test.rb test1 > ``` I guess I should add that I had Ruby 1.9.3 installed till yesterday. I uninstalled it, and installed the above (Ruby 2.0.0). Everything used to work fine in Ruby 1.9.3. Please help !! Thanks.
