I pushed a new test for asdf:run-shell-command that I believe will not work on Windows. The first step should be to use reader switches to remove the test contents when running on Windows, but ideally we should supply some windows code to take the place of the posix code where appropriate.
The current test relies on /usr/bin/true and /usr/bin/false to test how asdf:run-shell-command checks exit codes.
AFAIK POSIX requires «true» and «false» to reside in /bin not /usr/bin
OK, now checking both POSIX and Mac positions for these files. Pushed a new version. Thanks, Stelian.
Actually, I am not sure I did the right thing here. I am looking at the POSIX standard now (which I'm not good at navigating).
It seems like what POSIX mandates is only that I be able to say "true" or "false" to any compliant shell, and it will do the right thing. I don't /believe/ that it dictates a location.
So perhaps I have done the wrong thing here by giving a full pathname, and I should simply be using "true" and "false" without directory specifiers.
That's even better, especially since most shells have them as built-ins
