We do this for compatibility with Ruby 1.8.6, though as you can see, we don't
have the error message quite right:
PS F:\ C:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe x.rb
x.rb:1: Invalid char `\377' in expression
x.rb:1: Invalid char `\376' in expression
:)
I believe you'll need to save as UTF-8 and then manually
Here is the extension method I am using if anyone else is interested:
public static object ExecuteUnicodeFile( this ScriptRuntime rt, string
filename )
{
string rbCode;
// OpenText will strip the BOM and keep the Unicode intact
using( var rdr = File.OpenText( filename ) )
{
: [Ironruby-core] Unicode Source Files
Why so rigorous? I understand the need to maintain compatibility but
this effectively eliminates Visual Studio as an editor for .rb files,
without some kind of clunky build mechanism. I guess I will just use
an extension method to get around the behavior
You can switch to 1.9 compat mode by passing -19 argument on command line.
