Jira (PUP-1211) Puppet Resource Package fails

[Joshua Cooper (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Joshua Cooper commented on an issue   Re: Puppet Resource Package fails Puppet uses ruby's builtin `win32/registry` module for reading values from the registry. It ultimately calls RegQueryValueExA, which is the ANSI version. Yet strings returned from this native API call have their encoding set to US-ASCII, which doesn't match the underlying byte stream: (rdb:1) data "Notepad++ \xAE" (rdb:1) data.encoding #<Encoding:US-ASCII> (rdb:1) puts data *** Encoding::InvalidByteSequenceError Exception: "\xAE" on US-ASCII The win32/registry module should be setting the encoding to match the active codepage, e.g. (rdb:1) require 'windows/national' false (rdb:1) cp = Windows::National::GetACP.call 1252 (rdb:1) data.force_encoding("CP#{cp}") "Notepad++ \xAE" (rdb:1) data.encoding #<Encoding:Windows-1252> (rdb:1) puts data Notepad++ ® It's not clear why ruby is returning strings whose encodings are inconsistent with the underlying byte stream.
