Description

We are upgrading a rails application from Ruby 2.6 to Ruby 3.1 on Windows.

Running rails systems tests hang on Ruby 3.1, while they succeed on Ruby 2.6.

I tracked this down to Ruby 3.1's Net::HTTP using Socket.tcp rather than the old TCPSocket.

Specifically, in socket.rb, connect_internal calls connect_nonblock(self, exception: false), which ultimately hangs until timing out on windows.
Modifying the socket.rb source to use connect(self) instead results in a successful operation.

To be clear, the hanging operation is socket.rb#connect_nonblock, which is on line 1214

Reproduction:

  1. Install Ruby 3.1 on Windows - I used RubyInstaller: https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller2/releases/download/RubyInstaller-3.1.1-1/rubyinstaller-devkit-3.1.1-1-x64.exe
  2. Clone the reproduction project: https://github.com/joshleblanc/windows_net_http_problem
  3. Run bundle install
  4. Run rails test:system

Chrome will open, however a connection will never be made, ultimately timing out.

To test this same process in earlier versions of ruby, simply create a new rails project with rails new -O -J -S <name>, add the ffi and tzinfo-data gems to the gemfile, and scaffold a new resource. Running rails test:system from this point should succeed.
