Subject: Re: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII (ArgumentError)

The magic encoding comment didn't cut it for me. I found the answer in
my case by adding the following to my environment.rb (I run a mixed 1.8
and 1.9 environment):

if RUBY_VERSION =~ /1.9/
    Encoding.default_external = Encoding::UTF_8
    Encoding.default_internal = Encoding::UTF_8
end
