Bug 1103

Hmm on second thought I cannot get this to break locally, so maybe it's not actually a jogamp bug at all. The user is also running Windows XP which technically isn't even supported.

Do you use the latest GlueGen / JOGL release ?

This should be fixed by:
  - Bug  908  URI escaping of reserved character accurately
  - Bug 1015  Window exec. TEMP dir
  - Bug 1063  Own Uri Impl.
  - Bug 1067  SPACE preservation, Windows

All fixes are released in current git source repos,
as well as in aggregated test build:
  <https://jogamp.org/deployment/archive/master/gluegen_838-joal_570-jogl_1366-jocl_1026-signed/>

Please confirm, and if fixed - please mark as duplicate to .. Bug 908 and/or 1067,
i.e. close it.

Otherwise .. pls report.

Hey,

I have another user who has gotten back to me and they are on Windows 7 and using 2.2.4.

It looks like Process.exitValue() from testDirExec() returns 1. I guess it's a shame because 1 means very little other than generic error. Out of curiosity why is it trying to launch a process to determine whether it is executable?

His directory also seems to contain a special character "&", but that could also be unrelated.

Here's the user trace with -Djogamp.debug.IOUtil:
IOUtil.getTempRoot(): tempX1 <C:\Users\Garbbane&Viduksht\AppData\Roaming\.huntedcowcache\eldevin>, used true

It looks like the original stack trace was a different issue, do you want me to close this one as invalid and open a new ticket?

Simple Testcase

I've attached a simple test case demonstrating that windows requires quotes around commands that have special characters like &<>()@^|

You can find out the exact syntax from the cmd /? or command /? in a windows command prompt.

Let me know if you want me to clean it up.

I have got another user who also gets error code 1 for some reason and am looking into that as well. In fact Files.isExecutable(directory) available in Java 7+ returns true for him on the directory in question.

I'm trying to see if he can execute batch files at all as there is some information suggesting that batch files can fail to run if the file associations/registry entries get in a broken state but nothing so far.

Files.isExecutable(..) is not a sufficient test.

Bug 1108 addresses issues with Windows setup and 
BATCH file execution tests, i.e. fix uses a native TinyPE program
for Windows x86 and x86_64.

This should solve the issue.

Nothing more we can do here .. I am afraid.

If problem still persist, please re-open and add more information.

Note: Wait for next aggregated build for binaries,
or build yourself (GlueGen + JOGL).
