@RussellKeane I don't have a Windows machine to develop with, and it's been quite a while since I've worked on this project, so I'm not in a good position to fix this.
If you're willing to contribute a PR that works on Windows, I can check that it still works on UNIX and merge it, and I'll be happy to help you work on this if you're interested. I don't remember where (or why) fork
is used, but that's the cause of the incompatibility.
Hi,
I don't think this is an issue (see https://github.com/kputnam/piggly/issues/24)
It seems to be working under windows at the moment.
OK, thanks for the confirmation!
Piggly calls
fork
in several places, but this call fails on Windows. The win32 gem doesn't emulate the call sufficiently, so the best option is to avoid forking on Windows.
