Hello Core, Background: with Redmine-1.2 on Rails-2.3.11 we''re experiencing a "500 Internal Server Error" every time a mail with invalid UTF-8 byte sequence is hitting the MailHandler (the exception comes from the DB complaining about invalid string in the INSERT statement.) Since we do care about internal errors we''ve installed exception_notification plugin and this

Hello, I''m facing this problem while trying to extend the parse_redmine_links helper method in Redmine-1.1.0 (Rails-2.3.5) from my plugin. My idea is to use alias_method_chain so the extended version could call the original version and adjust the result to it''s liking. Anything I''ve tried so far exposes this behavior: the first render of a page uses the extended

Hello, I tried the following str ="ÄÄa__" assert str.mb_chars.is_utf8? assert str.is_utf8? # this is logical assert_equal 4, str.index("a", 4) # this is not logical. shouldn''t this be nil !? assert_equal 2, str.mb_chars.index("a", 4) Why is the last line failing? And how could I fix this? Regards, Peter. PS: I am using ruby 1.8.6 on linux with rails

Hi all, In response to Rodrigo Rosas''s message about mb_chars.upcase not giving the expected result on 1.9, I''ve done some work in a fork to make String#mb_chars always return an instance of a proxy class, both with Ruby 1.8 and Ruby 1.9. The end result of the patch is (hopefully) to make Rails'' multibyte functionality behave the same way in 1.8.7 and 1.9.x.

Hi, I''m beginner in rails, and I wanted to add to my simple application Authlogic. So I''ve watched http://railscasts.com/episodes/160-authlogic and step-by-step done everything. And almost everything works fine, except login in. After registration new user is automatically logged in, he can edit his profile, but after clicking logout and trying to login again I get error

RoR-3.0.1 I have this case statement: case n.hll_normalize when "common name" @my_correspondent.correspondent_common_name = s when "legal name" . . . else raise ArgumentError, "#{n} attribute is not provided for." end hll_normalize is defined as: def hll_normalise strip.squeeze(" ").mb_chars.downcase end I

Hi all, I wanted to draw some attention to a couple of very small multibyte-related patches I believe should be included before Rails 3.0 RC1: * Use String#bytesize rather than String#length in exception templates: This is a simple case where string length is checked, but bytes is needed, so it breaks with string with multibyte chars.

Hi, from example(capitalize) of the Hmisc package (v 0.8.3) you get: > capitalize(c("Hello", "bob", "daN")) [1] "Hello" "Bob" "daN" Is that "daN" correct? If so, then this behavior that only *all lowercase strings*, which the code indicates, will be capitalized is not documented. > Hmisc::capitalize function

I''m testing ruby-head through rvm but can''t get ''ação''.mb_chars.upcase == ''AÇÃO''... I get ''AçãO'' instead... This happens both for Rails 2.3.5 and Rails 3 beta 3... How can I get upcase to work correctly? Thanks in advance, Rodrigo. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby

I have Rails 1.1, MySql 5.0 and would like to stor text as utf8 in the db. I have changed the character set and collation in the db to utf8 and utf8_danish_ci - also checked the mysql to if its ok: show collations like "%danish%"; utf8_danish_ci utf8 203 Yes 8 I then add the following environment.rb: $KCODE = ''u'' require ''jcode'' och database.yml

So, I''ve been pounding the web for info on UTF8 in Ruby and Rails the past couple days to concoct some validations that allow UTF8 characters. I have discovered that with the patches applied in Rails 1.2, I can get a little further by doing the following declaring $KCODE = ''UTF8'' in environment.rb and by adding /u to regex expressions. The only thing not working

How do you capitalize each word in a string? Essentially, Ruby''s version of PHP''s ucwords()? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

How about this: we expose the known conversions of wxMBConv to wxruby global methods. Then we create a $WXSTRING_TO_RUBY and $RUBY_TO_WXSTRING globals that has a reference to those procs. In the ruby-string to wxString typemap, we use ruby to invoke $WXSTRING_TO_RUBY and $RUBY_TO_WXSTRING. That way, if people want a different method, they can write one (even a pure-ruby one) that changes the

I ran across a problem today in which some code ran fine in regular operation but failed in a test case. I scratched my head and thought "why would running from within the test harness change the behavior of my code?" Clearly it was the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in action! :) I discovered the root cause was that the rspec runner is setting the magical ruby global, $KCODE, to

Hello! First, thank you Julian for the useful plugin ''unicode_hacks'' < http://julik.textdriven.com/svn/tools/rails_plugins/unicode_hacks/>. I have found some problems running my app in development on Webrick and looking at it with Safari (MacOS X 10.4.3, Safari 2.0.2). Some files are sent with different sizes (e.g. default css example, or controls.js ), and it

Are there any workarounds when using capitalize on words with foreign characters (besides, of course, having a string of replaces for each case)? I''m getting results like this: C?TENOIR -> C?Tenoir Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello, I have a Rails App which serve a Soap Web Service with ActionWebService. I accept 2 string parameters that must contain xml. The data sent are in UTF-8, but the non-ascii char (é, à ...) in the message are crippled at the end. I tested the app, database, html, ... all accept utf-8, a direct http post works well, but going through the web service broke the content. I tried to manually set

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.
