[jruby-dev] [jira] (JRUBY-7195) REXML gives 1 character strings BINARY text encoding

[Ben Summers (JIRA)]

Ben Summers created JRUBY-7195 REXML gives 1 character strings BINARY text encoding Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: JRuby 1.7.4 Assignee: Unassigned Components: Encoding Created: 21/Aug/13 8:01 AM Description: The script below on JRuby outputs: ["a", "ASCII-8BIT"] ["aa", "US-ASCII"] ["☃", "UTF-8"] and on MRI 1.9.3p392: ["a", "UTF-8"] ["aa", "UTF-8"] ["☃", "UTF-8"] Which would be OK if it were just US-ASCII and UTF-8, except that one character strings are encoded as ASCII-8BIT! This is totally unexpected, and breaks code which quite reasonably would expect UTF-8 or 7 bit clean text. -------------------------------- coding: utf-8 require 'rexml/document' ["a", "aa", "☃"].each do |string| doc = REXML::Document.new(%Q!<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><string># {string} </string>!) decoded_string = doc.elements["string"].text p [decoded_string, decoded_string.encoding.name] end Project: JRuby Priority: Major Reporter: Ben Summers
