Ruby method for convering Windows short path into long path? -
is there built-in method in ruby convert windows short path like
c:\progra~2\micros~1.0\vc\bin\amd64 into corresponding long path
c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 12.0\vc\bin\amd64 i've tried
file.expand_path(short_path)pathname.new(short_path).cleanpathpathname.new(short_path).realpathdir.chdir(short_path) { dir.pwd }
but none of these worked.
if possible, i'd avoid calling win32 api directly in this answer, or ugly work-arounds spawning powershell:
%x{powershell (get-item -literalpath #{short_path}).fullname}
here 1 possible workaround:
path=dir.mktmpdir('vendor') => "c:/users/admini~1/appdata/local/temp/1/vendor20160727-12668-ywfjol" dir.glob(path)[0] => "c:/users/administrator/appdata/local/temp/1/vendor20160727-12668-ywfjol"
