I have a small snippet of code to recurse a directory which works as it
should
require 'find'
Find::find('C:\test') do |f|
p f
end
When I change it like this
require 'win32/file/stat'
require 'find'
Find::find('C:\test') do |f|
p f
end
Only the 'C:\test' directory is printed. None of the files or
subdirectories show up.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Don't require 'win32/file/stat' directly. Require win32-file instead, which will, in turn, require win32-file-stat.
The reason is that the 'find' module is calling File.lstat internally, which is just a pass through method to File::Stat. For it to work properly you need to use the File.lstat method that I've defined in the win32-file package.
I've updated the README file for win32-file-stat to explain the situation in a little more detail (and added a warning that you should never require win32-file-stat directly).

cannot help you, but, i can also second that behavior here.
wish there was something like "unrequire" the "require"d
maybe something like,
require 'win32/file/stat'
begin
test_require 'win32/file/stat'
rescue
require 'win32/file/stat' :uninstall => true
end
