NSString#stringByDeletingPathExtension: not returning a String

[koudelka@…]

The NSString docs for stringByDeletingPathExtension: indicate that it should return an NSString pointer, but doesn't seem to do so in macruby.

In macirb:

"/a/b/c.d".stringByDeletingPathExtension => "/a/b/c"

"/a/b/c.d".stringByDeletingPathExtension + 'aa'

TypeError: wrong argument type NSPathStore2 (expected String)

from (irb):2:in `<main>'

"/a/b/c.d".stringByDeletingPathExtension.class => NSPathStore2

My macruby version string is: MacRuby version 0.5 (ruby 1.9.0) [universal-darwin10.0, x86_64]

Sorry, that should be "returning" in the title, obviously. :)

It behaves like in Objective-C. NSPathStore2 is a subclass of NSString. The fact that #+ does not work on it is still a problem, though.

I failed to reproduce the bug with MacRuby trunk:

$> macirb
irb(main):001:0> "/a/b/c.d".stringByDeletingPathExtension
=> "/a/b/c"
irb(main):002:0> "/a/b/c.d".stringByDeletingPathExtension + 'aa'
=> "/a/b/caa"
irb(main):003:0> "/a/b/c.d".stringByDeletingPathExtension.class
=> String

Closing as fixed. Please check with trunk/nightlies, it should be fixed for you too :-)
