I'm having a " invalid byte sequence in UTF-8 error "
I watched your installation video 4 times, Searched about this error for days.
I found out that this might be a encoding problem, but I have no idea how to solve this problem.
please help .. Below is error log(?) when I restart SU after Libfredo6 installation.

I'm having a " invalid byte sequence in UTF-8 error " .

It's definitely related to your Windows user name not in ascii.

Difficult to fix as there are so many situations.

If you agree, we could try to troubleshoot together the problem (I would send you some small lines of Ruby to test).

In the Ruby console, can you type (just copy / paste the statement and Enter)

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encoding.inspect

Then tell me what you see as a response

manoamo · 26 Nov 2020, 08:08

Thank you so much for your kind help! Much appreciated!!

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encoding.inspect
#Encoding:CP949

This is what I got !

fredo6 · 26 Nov 2020, 08:51

@manoamo said:

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encoding.inspect
#Encoding:CP949

This is what I got !

Could you now execute the following commands in the Ruby console, one after the other

a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8")

a.encoding.inspect

Thanks

manoamo · 27 Nov 2020, 01:22

Thank you so much for your kind help!

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encoding.inspect

#Encoding:CP949
a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8")
C:\Users\￈ﾫ﾿￬ﾺ￳\AppData\Local
a.encoding.inspect
#Encoding:UTF-8

This is what I got

Then, can you try the following commands

a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8").gsub(/\\/, "/")

a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8").gsub("\\", "/")

and then this command

LibFredo6.get_dir_from_ENV "LOCALAPPDATA"

I followed every step that you told me!
but still same errors occur

fredo6 · 27 Nov 2020, 12:38

@manoamo

Thank you. Very useful.

I think this is a bug in the core ruby engine.

I'll see what I can do in order to overcome the problem.

Fredo

fredo6 · 27 Nov 2020, 14:15

@manoamo

Could you try

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.encode("UTF-8").gsub(/\\/, "/")

Thanks

Fredo

manoamo · 27 Nov 2020, 15:12

I tried the last typing but I failed again
I typed the codes in this sequence

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encoding.inspect
a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8")
a.encoding.inspect

a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8").gsub(/\/, "/")
a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8").gsub("\", "/")
ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.encode("UTF-8").gsub(/\/, "/")

LibFredo6.get_dir_from_ENV "LOCALAPPDATA"

Thanks

fredo6 · 27 Nov 2020, 15:19

@manoamo

Could you tell me what is the erroryou get with this statement

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.encode("UTF-8").gsub(/\\/, "/")

manoamo · 27 Nov 2020, 15:24

This is my ruby console

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encoding.inspect
#Encoding:CP949
a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8")

C:\Users\￈ﾫ﾿￬ﾺ￳\AppData\Local

fredo6 · 27 Nov 2020, 15:40

Ok. Thanks I think we progress.

Can you try this statement (only this one)

File.directory? ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.encode("UTF-8").gsub(/\\/, "/")

if there is an error, can you try this one

File.directory? ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.encode("UTF-8").gsub("\\", "/")

Many thanks

Fredo

manoamo · 27 Nov 2020, 15:45

Good to hear!

These are what I got back

First,

File.directory? ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.encode("UTF-8").gsub(/\/, "/")

true

Second,

File.directory? ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.encode("UTF-8").gsub("\", "/")
true

fredo6 · 27 Nov 2020, 15:49

OK. Thanks.

I will publish a fix and it should hopefully work for you.
