Bug #1509: "require" needs absolute path on Windows

Description

From a user email:

I tried Command-T on WindowsXP with ruby1.87, and I make the "*.c" file successfully. but when I type <leader>t to call CommandShow(),It doesn't work.It tell me "No pwd method defined in VIM module"; I want to know ,can I use Command-T on Windows with gvim72?

And the solution:

I got it! I change the command-t.vim! change the "require vim" to absolute path "require E:\Vim\vimfiles\ruby\vim"

So the task now is to do some testing on Windows and figure out how to tweak the require statements so that they work without modification on both Windows and other platforms.

    Ok, still can't test this on Windows seeing as I need to set up Parallels on this machine, but I think I might have addressed the issue.

    Instead of assuming a hard-coded location for the VIM runtime files (~/.vim) we consult the 'runtimepath' setting and try looking in the first entry in the list.

    I might even go so far as to walk through the list and try each location in turn.

  2. Greg Hurrell

    Ok, just did that. Now we add all of the paths from the 'runtime' to the Ruby LOAD_PATH (at least, all of the paths which actually exist on the filesystem and have a ruby subdirectory in them).

    This should hopefully fix the bug for pretty much all possible install locations on all platforms.

    Will still do some testing though once I can on Windows, so not going to mark as closed just yet.

    Gah, I got Windows XP installed on Parallels, but I realized I'm completely out of depth when it comes to finding/building a version of VIM with Ruby support, or getting a compiler tool chain installed to build the C extension.

    So I'm going to have to mark this one as closed and hope for the best.
