Hello all.
I'm trying to migrate a project to ruby 1.9.
I have a lot of source, ressource, and data files, all encoded in
ISO8859-1(5), so I'm trying to preserve this.
The trouble is that YAML seems to load every string file that contains a
non ASCII char with an encoding of "ASCII-8BIT" ; if I understand
correctly, it should follow the Encoding.default_external value.
A small example session :
13:20 fred@balvenie:~/ruby/blackops> ruby19 -v
ruby 1.9.0 (2008-07-25 revision 18217) [i386-freebsd6]
13:20 fred@balvenie:~/ruby/blackops> irb19
>> require "yaml"
=> true
>> Encoding.default_external
=> #<Encoding:ISO-8859-15>
>> txt = "\351\351\351"
=> "ééé"
>> txt.encoding
=> #<Encoding:ISO-8859-15>
>> z = YAML.load(YAML.dump(txt))
=> "\351\351\351"
>> z.encoding
=> #<Encoding:ASCII-8BIT>
>> z << "\351"
ArgumentError: append incompatible encoding strings: ASCII-8BIT and ISO-8859-15

>> z.force_encoding('ISO8859-15')
=> "ééé"
>> z << "\351"
=> "éééé"
Any ideas ?
(Nota : this is a hand compiled 1.9.0-3 version under FreeBSD, but it
does the same with the official ports version, 1.9.0-1.)
