I''ve just done a fresh reinstall of OS X Snow Leopard on my mac, and I''m having all kinds of problems with Rails, but the latest problem has me stumped. Whenever I run rake db:seed to populate my database I hit the following error: ** Invoke db:seed (first_time) ** Invoke environment (first_time) ** Execute environment ** Execute db:seed rake aborted!

When I look into the rails code that''s throwing the error it''s coming up because it can''t find Encoding::UTF_8. What''s more, if I skip db:seed and just start up the webserver I get a different error but it comes down to the exact same cause (can''t find Encoding::UTF_8). The problem is that I can''t even figure out where this module is supposed to be! Is it rails or is it ruby? Or is it expecting a gem that I don''t have? I really have no idea (and google isn''t helping much). My setup is: Ruby 1.8.7 Rails 2.3.4 Database Mysql 5.1 64bit (MySQL gem 2.8.1 also in 64bit) OS Mac OSX SNow Leopard 64bit Has anyone seen this before? Can anyone suggest a fix? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Encoding shows up in Ruby 1.9 as part of the multibyte change made to
String. That said, Rails 2.3.4 does make reference to Encoding::UTF_8
but those references are conditional. If you look at
"activesupport-2.3.4/lib/active_support/core_ext/string/multibyte.rb"
you''ll see the gory details.
I can run db:seed with Ruby1.8.7/Rails2.3.4 with no problem.
ruby --version =>
ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-08 patchlevel 173) [powerpc-darwin9.7.0]
rails --version => Rails 2.3.4
gem list mysql => mysql (2.8.1)
mysql --version =>
mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.39, for apple-darwin9.5.0 (powerpc)
using readline 5.1
database.yml:

You got me thinking about dependent gems that I''m using (rather than rails) and it turns out that the problem is caused by a gem called google-spreadsheet-ruby (it allows you to access and parse google spreadsheets from ruby). This gem defines String.force_encoding for Ruby 1.8, however, rails is using this method to test whether it''s running on top of Ruby 1.8 or Ruby 1.9 - so it think''s it''s using Ruby 1.9 when actually it''s using Ruby 1.8, and then quickly hits problems and crashes. I''ve notified the author of the gem and suggested a solution, and I''ve patched my own app for now as well (to undefine this method entirely as the gem is an unused dependency in my project) and everything''s working again. :-) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
