Issue #8709 has been updated by deivid (David Rodr=EDguez).


I got bit by this in the past too when trying to reproduce order dependent =
test failures (https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/2626#discussion_r2=
54020218).

----------------------------------------
On OS X, Dir.glob and Dir[] return an ordered list of files.

On Ubuntu Linux, they do not and one must manually sort them.

Returning a list of files that isn't in order fails the Principle of Least =
Astonishment.

I attach a unit test to demonstrate ideal behaviour.
