Ce ruby Libfredo6 v8.1d n’est pas marché sur sketchup pro 2016 (win10) dans l’ordinateur portable (surface pro5). Comment je le fixe ? en fait, le ‘***’ est la différente langue (c’est la langue coréenne). C’est la raison de montrer ce bug ?

I suspect it's to do with your Windows user name [ali yönder] containing some invalid character [likely the 'ö'].
Ruby must be given UTF-8 encoded text strings.
I'm sure that Fredo's code will attempt to force every string's encoding into an acceptable format.
Clearly it's failing in your case...
What is your normal system encoding ?
Perhaps Fredo can comment...

The other similar post's issue is again almost certainly because of the 'langue coréenne' user-name encoding...

fredo6

This is related to the encoding of ENV["xxx"] variables, where LibFredo6 does try to convert them to UTF-8.

Could you open the Ruby console and type sequentially

a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"]
b = a.force_encoding("UTF-8")
b.encoding (should return UTF-8)

Can you also type

c = LibFredo6.get_dir_from_ENV("LOCALAPPDATA")
c.encoding (should return UTF-8)

Thanks to report if there are errors.

Fredo

ali_yonder

Thanx for reply TIG & Fredo

I am from Turkey nd there are 'ı,ü,ö' letters in my sytstem.

I've written

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

to ruby conlose.

but it has failed again.

a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"]

b = a.force_encoding("UTF-8")
Error: #<RuntimeError: can't modify frozen String>
<main>:in force_encoding' <main>:in <main>'
SketchUp:1:in `eval'

b.encoding
Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method encoding' for nil:NilClass> <main>:in <main>'
SketchUp:1:in `eval'

then, i ve written

c = LibFredo6.get_dir_from_ENV("LOCALAPPDATA")
c.encoding

to ruby console, but it has failed again

c = LibFredo6.get_dir_from_ENV("LOCALAPPDATA")
Error: #<ArgumentError: invalid byte sequence in UTF-8>

<main>:in <main>' SketchUp:1:in eval'

c.encoding
Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method encoding' for nil:NilClass> <main>:in <main>'

Do u have any suggestion?

thanx all

TIG

Try this slightly different way, which sidesteps reading in the frozen system string...

puts a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"]**+""** puts b.encoding puts b = a.force_encoding("UTF-8") puts b.encoding

Fredo needs to fix his coding, once we get to the bottom of this issue...

fredo6

Apparently ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"] is not defined.

Could you type in the Ruby console

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].inspect

@TIG: indeed, in LibFredo6 code, I duplicate the original string before forcing encoding. Just forgot this detail here.

Fredo

TIG

So whenever any of us intend to use a 'frozen reference' we need to use something like:
a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"]+""
to make a copy of it to work on

ali_yonder

Thanx for replies again

i've written ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].inspect

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].inspect
"C:\Users\Ali Y\xF6nder\AppData\Local"

Many thanks

Then can you type the commands suggested by TIG

puts a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"]+"" puts a.encoding puts b = a.force_encoding("UTF-8") puts b.encoding

and add this one

puts a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encode("UTF-8")

Thanks

Fredo

IMPORTANT: your profile says you use Sketchup 8. Is that correct?

ali_yonder

Thanx fredo. I use sketchup 2017. i have to update my profile.

i've written these

puts a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"]+""
puts a.encoding
puts b = a.force_encoding("UTF-8")
puts b.encoding

puts a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encode("UTF-8")

and ruby said;

puts a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"]+""

puts a.encoding
Windows-1254

puts b = a.force_encoding("UTF-8")

puts b.encoding
UTF-8

puts a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encode("UTF-8")
C:\Users\Ali Yönder\AppData\Local

but still my problem is not solved. maybe i have to format my pc. i do not know.

fredo6

Ali,

You need to type the commands one by one.

Apparently the last one seems to work.

Could send me a private message with an email address where I can send you a modified version of LibFredo6.

To be sure, can you type separately the 3 commands below:

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

a.encoding

a.gsub(/\\/, "/")

The last one should return the path with \ replaced by /

Thanks

Fredo

fredo6

The problem should be resolved with the new version 8.1e.

Many thanks to Ali

Fredo
