Expected Behavior

File#mtime doesn't return the same data for File#stat#mtime when the file has been renamed or deleted since the filehandle was opened (if the file has been removed, it throws an exception; if the file has been renamed, it silently gets the wrong data). MRI gets this data from the open filehandle and therefore gets the correct mtime. There are probably other methods on File that are shortcuts for stat that have this same issue. #size appears to have the correct behavior, but #ctime and #atime do not.

Here's an example program that works on MRI (printing "true" twice) but crashes in Jruby:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'tmpdir'
require 'pathname'
require 'fileutils'

Dir.mktmpdir do |dir|
  dir = Pathname.new dir
  filename = dir + 'foo'
  File.open(filename, 'w') {|f| f.puts('foo')}
  file = File.open filename
  p file.stat.mtime == file.mtime
  File.rename(filename, dir + 'bar')
  p file.stat.mtime == file.mtime
end

In MRI

true
true

Note that in MRI on Windows, this fails as well, due to Windows files being locked for deletion and renaming when they are open for reading, so it throws a permission denied error. This version works in MRI on Windows:

Dir.mktmpdir do |dir|
  dir = Pathname.new dir
  filename = dir + 'foo'
  File.open(filename, 'w') {|f| f.puts('foo')}
  File.open(filename, File::BINARY | File::SHARE_DELETE) do |file|
    p file.stat.mtime == file.mtime
    File.delete(filename)
    p file.stat.mtime == file.mtime
  end
end

Actual Behavior

true
