When creating a symbolic link JRuby give bad error message when not an admin on windows #4765
Description
This issue is closely related to issue:
#4669
On today's build (and many previous release versions) when making a symlink in a non admin shell you get a poor error message. Consider:
> java -jar C:\work\va-ctt\jruby\jruby\maven\jruby-complete\target\jruby-complete-9.1.13.0-SNAPSHOT.jar -S jirb
irb(main):001:0> File.symlink('c:\temp\del.me', 'c:\temp\del2.me')
SystemCallError: Unknown error (SystemCallError) 1314 - CreateSymbolicLink
from uri:classloader:/jruby/kernel/file.rb:115:in `symlink'
from (irb):1:in `<eval>'
from org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1000:in `eval'
from org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1298:in `loop'
from org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1120:in `catch'
from org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1120:in `catch'
from uri:classloader:/META-INF/jruby.home/bin/jirb:13:in `<main>'
MRI ruby will give:
irb(main):003:0> File.symlink('c:\temp\del.me', 'c:\temp\del2.me')
Errno::EACCES: Permission denied @ rb_file_s_symlink - (c:\temp\del.me, c:\temp\del2.me)
from (irb):3:in `symlink'
from (irb):3
from c:/languages/ruby/Ruby24-x64/bin/irb.cmd:19:in `<main>'
React on Rails makes use of these APIs and it would be nice to get a useful error message in the build to clue the developer in to run the build as an admin.
Thanks,
