Pepijn Van Eeckhoudt reopened BUILDR-398:
-----------------------------------------


The issue seems to apply to Ruby in general. From the information I could find via google I've come to the conclusion that File.SEPARATOR is always set to '/' regardless of platform. Paths in Ruby are also always '/' separated. This is supposedly so to ease cross-platform portability.

As a result, this patch should be applied for all Ruby implementations; not just JRuby.

> the sh method attempts to 'cd' to Dir.pwd before executing the actual command. This does not work correctly on Windows/JRuby 1.4. File::SEPARATOR returns '/' on this platform. When system tries to 'cd' to a path with a '/' on Windows the operation fails. The attached patch ensures the separators are '\' instead.
> Also cd on windows changes the current directory for a particular drive. When changing to another drive the '/d' option should be included. This is also included in the attached patch.
