Bug #5483: Pathname doesn’t deal with encodings properly

• Status: Closed

[now (Nikolai Weibull)]

Encoding.find('filesystem') # => Windows-1252
(Pathname('//Server/Share'.encode('filesystem'))+'Entry'.encode('filesystem')).to_path.encoding # => ASCII-8BIT

This actually seems to be a problem with File.join, as File.join doesn’t retain any sort of encoding of the input arguments.

May Ruby be with you.
