Description

Hello,

I downloaded Ruby 2.1.3 from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ and tried to install gems:

$ gem install asciidoctor
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Encoding::UndefinedConversionError)
    U+2019 to CP850 in conversion from UTF-16LE to UTF-8 to CP850

I googled the error and found a number of "solutions":

$ gem install asciidoctor -E utf-8 --no-rdoc
$ LC_ALL=fr.FR.UTF-8 LANG= gem install ascidoctor
$ export LC_CTYPE=utf-8
$ export RUBYOPT='-E utf-8'
$ ruby -e 'p Encoding.default_external'
#<Encoding:UTF-8>

The Encoding.default_external was now on UTF-8 but the error persisted.
My environment:

$ gem env

To resolve this issue I manually modified line 70 of registry.rb:

- LOCALE = Encoding.find(Encoding.locale_charmap)
+ LOCALE = Encoding::UTF_8
+ #LOCALE = Encoding.find(Encoding.locale_charmap)

Is it possible to change locale_charmap without hacking registry.rb ? UTF-8 is maybe a better default value ?

Thanks,
Guillaume

  • Subject changed from Troubles installing gems on Windows 7 to Encoding error in conversion from UTF-16LE to UTF-8 to CP850

Updated by duerst (Martin Dürst) over 9 years ago

There is no bug in the conversion from (UTF-16LE to) UTF-8 to CP850. CP850 simply doesn't contain U+2019 (RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK, see http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2000.pdf), see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_850. So with the current subject, this bug should actually be rejected.

Then the question is where the U+2019 is coming from. It's rather easy to get one into an otherwise ASCII text file, e.g. with "smart quotes" or some such. The bug is therefore either in the gem (why does a gem called 'asciidoctor' use non-ascii characters :-?), in the RubyGems code, or in the win32/registry code.

Or from FormatMessage?

Can you try with this patch?

Hello,

I just experienced the same problem than Guillaume on Windows 7 and tried your patch. It solved the problem perfectly.
