You got me thinking about dependent gems that I'm using (rather than rails) and it turns out that the problem is caused by a gem called google-spreadsheet-ruby (it allows you to access and parse google spreadsheets from ruby). This gem defines String.force_encoding for Ruby 1.8, however, rails is using this method to test whether it's running on top of Ruby 1.8 or Ruby 1.9 - so it think's it's using Ruby 1.9 when actually it's using Ruby 1.8, and then quickly hits problems and crashes.
I've notified the author of the gem and suggested a solution, and I've patched my own app for now as well (to undefine this method entirely as the gem is an unused dependency in my project) and everything's working again. :-) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
