Then it passes a pointer to the underlying C string to `truncate()` aka `rb_w32_truncate()`. At last the UTF-8 string is passed to `CreateFile()` aka `CreateFileA()` (ANSI). This also means it doesn't support Unicode unlike (hopefully all) other File singleton methods. ~~~ruby s = "\u2603" IO.write(s, '123') File.truncate(s, 0) # Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory @ rb_file_s_truncate - ��� ~~~ A possible fix is attached. I'm not sure about the test code. I also couldn't find any similar tests. The actual fix should be fine however. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
