Subject: [ruby-core:17310] [Ruby 1.9 - Bug #178] (Open) File.open on sprintf-formatted string fails with encoding conversion error on OS X

Issue #178 has been reported by Eric Hodel.

----------------------------------------
Bug #178: File.open on sprintf-formatted string fails with encoding conversion error on OS X
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/178

Author: Eric Hodel
Status: Open
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: 
Category: 
Target version: 


String#% and File.open are interacting strangely on OS X, so files opened with a sprintf formatted string raise an ArgumentError:

$ ruby19 -vwe 'File.new("foo" % [])'
ruby 1.9.0 (2008-06-18 revision 15873) [i686-darwin9.3.0]
-e:1:in `initialize': transcoding not supported (from US-ASCII to UTF8-MAC) (ArgumentError)
	from -e:1:in `new'
	from -e:1:in `<main>'

Using just "foo" as the filename works fine:

$ ruby19 -we 'File.new("foo")'

As does String#<<:

$ ruby19 -we 'File.new("foo" << "")'
