Rails 3 invalid multibyte char (US-ASCII)
Solution 1
Instead of adding # coding: UTF-8
try to add # encoding: UTF-8
on the first line of the file.
It worked for me. I found the information here : http://groups.google.com/group/sinatrarb/browse_thread/thread/f92529bf0cf62015
Solution 2
Just add the following line as the first line in the file:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
and it will work.
Solution 3
Add a magic comment in the script where you use non-ascii chars? It should go on top of the script.
# encoding: utf-8
It worked for me like charm.
Or if you want to make the project wide, you have an option of magic-encoding gem
Solution 4
I changed the line:
gem 'pdf-writer', :git => 'git://github.com/metaskills/pdf-writer.git'
and that works for me.

I found a similar post here but I can't solve the problem anyway.
I got this
/home/fra/siti/Pensiero/db/seeds.rb:32: invalid multibyte char (US-ASCII) /home/fra/siti/Pensiero/db/seeds.rb:32: invalid multibyte char (US-ASCII) /home/fra/siti/Pensiero/db/seeds.rb:32: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting ')' ... ed il valore della vita, si è malati", :user_id => 1, :cat...
The problem is in this string
:body => "Nel momento in cui ci si chiede il significato ed il valore della vita, si è malati"
I got the problem with every "e" character with the accent, like "è é "
I tried to put magic comment
# coding: utf-8
but it doesn't work.Any idea?
