[ruby-core:41101] [ruby-trunk - Bug #5447] Rails can't create a new app when a folder with accented letter is in the path

Issue #5447 has been updated by Joテォl Brogniart.


It's not a thor's bug. It's perhaps an issue related to the way ruby 1.9.3 is configured on Mac OS X. The issue is still there with ruby 1.9.3-p0.

Here is a sample test to see the problem (without using Thor).
In OS X'  Finder create a folder with accented letter in name (i.e. テ盈ilie), create a sub folder in this folder (i.e. toto).
in terminal, cd to the "toto" folder and then irb.

With ruby 1.9.2p290
>> d1 = Dir.getwd
=> "/Users/billgates/Documents/tests/E\314\201milie/toto"
>> d2 = File.expand_path(File.dirname(d1))
=> "/Users/billgates/Documents/tests/E\314\201milie"
>> d1.gsub(d2, '.')
=> "./toto"

With ruby 1.9.3-p0
ruby-1.9.3-p0 :001 > d1 = Dir.getwd
 => "/Users/billgates/Documents/tests/テ盈ilie/toto" 
ruby-1.9.3-p0 :002 > d2 = File.expand_path(File.dirname(d1))
 => "/Users/billgates/Documents/tests/テ盈ilie" 
ruby-1.9.3-p0 :003 > d1.gsub(d2, '.')
RegexpError: invalid multibyte character: /\/Users\/billgates\/Documents\/tests\/E\xCC\x81milie/
	from (irb):3:in `gsub'
	from (irb):3

There is no such problem with:

- Apple's system ruby ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [universal-darwin11.0]
