Bug #11463: Process.spawn raises TypeError when passing hash with keys/vals other than strings

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: -
• Target version: -
• ruby -v: ruby 2.3.0dev (2015-08-18 trunk 51624) [x86_64-linux]
• Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN

[bubo47 (Jakub Jursa)]

expected:

head :001 > Process.spawn({"FOO" => 10}, "bash")
 => 13479 

got in reality:

head :001 > Process.spawn({"FOO" => 10}, "bash")
TypeError: no implicit conversion of Fixnum into String

This issue is similar to https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10859. Both issues aren't mentioned in docs ( http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.2.2/Process.html#method-c-spawn ) - who/how should I urge to fix it also there?
