      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...

          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

            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>
            c:/users/ali yönder/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2017/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_!libfredo6/top_libfredo6.rbe:43:in gsub' c:/users/ali yönder/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2017/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_!libfredo6/top_libfredo6.rbe:43:in get_dir_from_ENV'
            <main>:in <main>' SketchUp:1:in eval'

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

            Do u have any suggestion?

            thanx all 😄

              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...

                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.

                  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 😉

                      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?

                        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.

                          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

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

                                    Yes, of course. That's when I receive the error window.

                                        The fail to read seems to be due to a wrong installation of Sketchup, that is without a "run as an administrator" on the install exe file.

                                          Thanks Fredo.
                                          That was my second thought...

                                          For the avoidance of doubt, in all newer versions of Windows the only correct way to install ANY application - including SketchUp - is as follows...

                                          Login as your normal user account.
                                          Close SketchUp if it is open.
                                          Find the SketchUp installer exe file.
                                          It's probably in your Downloads folder - if not download a new version.
                                          Select the exe file's icon.
                                          Right-click > Context-menu > "Run as administrator"
                                          The process starts...
                                          When prompted choose "Repair"
                                          Note that if you have not yet installed SketchUp, or have recently uninstalled it - the appropriate option is "Install"...
                                          When it completes start up Sketchup and see what happens.

                                          Very rarely the "Repair" might be insufficient, it that case run the exe as above and choose "Uninstall", then run it again and "Install"...

                                          Installing any exe installer file in any other way will cause all kinds of unexpected and weird issues...
                                          Never install using the 'administrator' login account.
                                          Always install as your usual user account.
                                          Accept the default local location that is offered - anything else might cause issues...
                                          Never install as your usual user account by double-clicking the installer exe file's icon.
                                          Even if you have admin powers that is NOT the same as doing it correctly - there will be subtle differences...

                                          TIG

                                            The fail to read seems to be due to a wrong installation of Sketchup, that is without a "run as an administrator" on the install exe file.

                                            Fredo

                                            Using the install.exe in my Downloads folder, I "Ran as Admin", chose Repair, let it run but still get the errors. I shutdown SU, then using the install.exe I "Ran as Admin" and chose Uninstall, let it finish and then restarted my system. Once system restarted, I went back to the download folder, "Ran as Admin" the install.exe for a fresh install, once finished I restarted my system, opened SU and tried installing fredo6 and RoundCorner using Preferences>Extensions. Closed SU then restarted. Received the following error;

                                            Other installed Extensions load fine so I don't know what to do now.
