logname may not produce a login name

Inizia da spec/ruby/library/etc/getlogin_spec.rb:22 e riproduci l’esempio non funzionante di Etc.getlogin su JRuby nell’ambiente GitHub Actions. Confronta i comandi disponibili per ottenere il nome di accesso e il valore dell’ambiente descritto nell’issue, quindi fai in modo che la spec gestisca gli ambienti senza un terminale di controllo. Il lavoro è completato quando la spec passa su JRuby mantenendo un fallback quando i comandi non sono disponibili.

Running the specs on JRuby on Github Actions, we see the following message and failing spec:

...
logname: no login name
...
1)
Etc.getlogin returns the name associated with the current login activity FAILED
Expected "runner" == ""
to be truthy but was false
/home/runner/work/jruby/jruby/spec/ruby/library/etc/getlogin_spec.rb:22:in `block in <main>'
...

This can occur when logname is run without a controlling terminal. I'm unsure whether this GHA env is not setting up a tty, or if there's an issue launching the command in JRuby that prevents it inheriting the parent terminal, but it seems like id would be a more reliable command to use:

           end
         end
       else

However I think we are also stacking too many conditions here. I'm unsure of the "best" way to get the current login, but clearly logname has issues that make it undesirable.

FWIW some forums suggest logname -t which will ensure a tty is created, but this flag is not present on BSD-likes.
