Category: `gem install` command >Group: v1.3.x >Status: Closed >Resolution: Rejected Priority: 3 Submitted By: chocolate boy (chocolateboy) >Assigned to: Eric Hodel (drbrain) Summary: UTF-8 files break Gem builds under Ruby 1.9.0 Initial Comment: I've spent the past couple of hours trying to get "rake gem" to build a valid gem for this project: http://github.com/nricciar/wikicloth Each time, gem install pkg/wikicloth-0.2.0.gem would fail with: ERROR: While executing gem ... (ArgumentError) string contains null byte gem install --backtrace pkg/wikicloth-0.2.0.gem gives: ERROR: While executing gem ... (ArgumentError) string contains null byte /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/rubygems/package/tar_reader/entry.rb:66:in `join' ... /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/rubygems/gem_runner.rb:58:in `run' /usr/bin/gem1.9:21:in `<main>' Placing a puts statement in the join method revealed a corrupt header: Good header: #<Gem::Package::TarHeader:0x97f9064 @checksum=7592, @devmajor=0, @devminor=0, @gid=0, @gname="wheel", @linkname="", @magic="ustar", @mode=420, @mtime=0, @name="sample_documents/lists.wiki", @prefix="", @size=12390, @typeflag="0", @uid=0, @uname="wheel", @version=0, @empty=false> Bad header: #<Gem::Package::TarHeader:0x97f7c64 @checksum=95, @devmajor=0, @devminor=0, @gid=420, @gname="\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00wheel", @linkname="000000\x00020307\x00 0", @magic="", @mode=0, @mtime=0, @name="\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00sample_documents/air_force_one.wiki", @prefix="0000000\x000000000", @size=0, @typeflag="0", @uid=0, @uname="\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00ustar\x0000wheel", @version=0, @empty=false> Although the "file" command flags both of these as UTF-8, it seems that the first UTF-8 entry corrupts the following entry. Removing UTF-8 files from the sample_documents directory solves the problem (a valid data.tar gzipped inside the gem) and placing any of the UTF-8 files in the samples directory, even on its own, produces an invalid tarball. After a couple of hours of tracing gem creation through the maze of: /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/rubygems/builder.rb /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/rubygems/package.rb /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/rubygems/package/tar_header.rb /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/rubygems/package/tar_output.rb /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/rubygems/package/tar_reader/entry.rb /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/rubygems/package/tar_writer.rb - trying to find the bug, I finally relented and installed rubygems1.8 (just to build the gem) and it worked. The rubygems1.8 package on Ubuntu (10.04) is exactly the same version as rubygems1.9: 1.3.5. All the files above are the same. They just differ in the path and the Ruby version: 1.8.7 vs 1.9.0. This may be fixed in 1.9.1 or 1.9.2, but as it stands: RubyGems can't build a valid tarball on 1.9.0 when confronted with UTF-8 files.
