In general, shelling out is relatively error-prone given that one must remember to escape/quote shell metacharacters all the time, including spaces in filenames. For these
curl
andtar
commands, there's no need to be using the shell in the first place, since no shell features are being used. So this switches them to useOpen3.popen3
with an array argument instead (which shouldn't invoke the shell).Also, the old code used
%p
for some shell escaping, even thoughString#inspect
is not intended to be used for that purpose.Since travis-ci/travis-ci#5092 involves Cacher, I'm looking for possible bugs in Cacher.
