I have several Rails (version 1.0) apps I''m working on on a Win XP box
using Webrick that were working fine before I left for the holidays. I
came back, started up and they all get the same syntax and compile
errors:
compile error
./script/../config/../app/views/time/list.rhtml:4: Invalid char `\212''
in expression
repeated over and over. Refreshing the page gives thes same error but
for seemingly random parts in the rhtml files.
The application trace is:
#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views/time/list.rhtml:4:in `module_eval''
-e:3:in `load''
-e:3
I tried reinstalling Ruby and rebooting and doing a gem update, but
nothing seems to affect it. Any suggestions?

Maybe encoding problem. I find that for some files when saved in utf-8, ruby will report ''invalid char''. These hidden chars are invisible in editor.

I wonder if something that I did then has > broken everything. Hmmm.Yeah... this is what it ended up being. In my effort to install Family Connection, I put a file called mysql.so that I found online to get the ruby/mysql bindings to work in C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\i386-msvcrt Removing it and restarting my applications solved the problem. Strange... but it works now. This isn''t where I got the file, but this looks like it might have the right way to get the ruby mysql bindings installed if anyone is curious: http://seagecko.org/thoughts/in-the-past/2004/09/09/ruby-mysql-and-windows/ -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
