Ironruby core - Aug 2009 - Time.now and System::Text::EncoderFallbackException

Hi all,

I''ve got a strange problem with Time.now (and System.DateTime.Now, of
course) when the current culture is set to ''ru-RU'',
''pl-PL'' or some
other cultures:

V:\PROGS\Ruby\Migrate\ClearQuest>D:\Progs\Ruby\IronRuby-0.9.0\bin\ir.exe
IronRuby 0.9.0.0 on .NET 2.0.50727.3082
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
>>> include System::Globalization
=> Object
>>> include System::Threading
=> Object
>>> Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture =
CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(''ru-
RU'')
=> ru-RU
>>> Time.now
=> mscorlib:0:in `GetBytes'': Value does not fall within the expected
range. (Sys
tem::Text::EncoderFallbackException)
        from mscorlib:0:in `GetBytes''
        from :0

Can anybody help?

Thanks,
Maxim Maslov

DataTime.inspect is supposed to use invariant culture for formatting the time. I
think I''ve fixed this recently. Can you try the latest
build?
>>> Time.now

As a workaround you can do  Time.now.ToString(''hh mm ss, MMM
yyyy'') for example.

Note that MRI 1.8 doesn''t support encoded strings well. We are trying
to make them work but we haven''t fixed all Ruby string manipulating
methods yet. Everything should just work if you use CLR strings.
