Bug #13569: Windows - TestRubyOptions#test_search - append to paths instead of replacing

TestRubyOptions#test_search replaces ENV['PATH'], which causes a failure under Windows. PR appends, rather than replacing.

See GitHub PR 1616.

Decided to re-run this test, as it's been a while. I've been applying the patch before my normal test runs, so I haven't checked for its (continued) failure for a while. Given that my test results have been consistent across all test sets, I doubt I've got something wrong with my env setup during testing.

Note that if I run this test with runner.rb in a windows env, the test passes. But as noted below, it fails when run with make (I set a make env by adding msys64\mingw64\bin and msys64\usr\bin to my path.)

Below is a command window grab from a make test:

E:\GitHub\ruby-loco\src\build-x86_64>make.exe "TESTOPTS= --show-skip ../ruby/test/ruby/test_rubyoptions.rb" test-all
Run options: "--ruby=./miniruby.exe -I../ruby/lib -I. -I.ext/common  ../ruby/tool/runruby.rb --extout=.ext  -- --disable-gems" --excludes-dir=../ruby/

I can reproduce this with msys2 build.
miniruby.exe and ruby.exe have dependency to libgmp-10.dll.
So path which contains libgmp-10.dll is needed to PATH environment variable.

I can avoid the issue by copying libgmp-10.dll to current directory.

It seems that rubyinstaller2 binary uses manifest dependency instead of PATH.

[MSP-Greg (Greg L)]

My MinGW builds are very similar to rubyinstaller2 builds, and they also use a manifest. They use the rubyinstaller2 runtime.

Speaking of copying files, I do copy a file for another test, but I didn't note which test it affected...

copy /b .\ext\-test-\win32\dln\dlntest.dll dlntest.dll

Re the PR, it could be made dependent on RUBY_PLATFORM, etc.

Thank you for reviewing.

test_rubyoptions.rb: keep paths if necessary

• test/ruby/test_rubyoptions.rb (TestRubyOptions#test_search):
  PATH must keep library loading paths on a platform where it is
  used for that purpose, for extra libraries.
