error: unmappable character for encoding ASCII

[Terrence Brannon]

The default compilation settings lead to errors on my mac os x machine.


[~/prg/ceylon-dist/samples/helloworld]$ ceylon compile com.example.helloworld
/Users/admin/prg/ceylon-dist/samples/helloworld/source/com/example/helloworld/module.ceylon:17: error: unmappable character for encoding ASCII

Actually the easiest way to test those examples would be to have "ant" installed so you could just run "ant" and it would compile and run the sample.

But if you don't have ant installed you could try the compile command again but with the following change:

$ ceylon compile --encoding UTF-8 com.example.helloworld

Please report this as a bug against ceylon-dist. Thanks.

It's not a bug. The sources are UTF-8 and he's on a Mac so he needs to tell the compiler to use the UTF-8 encoding.

-Tako

[Gavin King]

The sources should not contain non-UTF-8 characters. This is a
freaking helloworld.

[Gavin King]

I mean non-ASCII chars, of course.

[Tako Schotanus]

Tell Stef that ;)

Yeah well I know Stef is very proud of his précious áccents, but not
trípping up new úsers on non-únix plátforms is góing to have to come
befóre his pride in this case.

I think the examples should just be signed "The Ceylon Team"

-Tako

[Gavin King]

I don't care who signs them, as long as their name can be represented
using 8-bit characters.

[Tako Schotanus]

Oh, they can be represented with 8-bit character, but then it will break on other OSes ;)

[Stéphane Épardaud]

I agree with Gavin entirely here let s change that attribution and encoding.

Hi Guys,
Even I'm facing the same issue of UTF-8 Encoding.
It says BUILD FAILED

error: unmappable character for encoding ASCII

Could you please help me in resolving this issue for setup ? 
Thank you

Dheeraj: what operating system are you using, and how are your files encoded (is this still speck)? Do you have the correct encoding in the .ceylon/config file?

[Stephane Epardaud]

What exactly is your problem? The issue of samples encoding was fixed a while ago.

[Dheeraj Joshi]

Sorry for the late response guys (my email notifications were off :/ ),
I'm using Mac Os X.
I was trying to setup build and got the following error :

Ceylon/ceylon-common/src/com/redhat/ceylon/common/runtime/CeylonModuleClassLoader.java:8: error: unmappable character for encoding ASCII
    [javac]  * @author St??phane ??pardaud <stef@epardaud.fr>
    [javac]                       ^
    [javac] 8 errors


BUILD FAILED
Ceylon/ceylon-dist/build.xml:328: The following error occurred while executing this line:
Ceylon/ceylon-common/build.xml:48: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.

Lucas, I haven't set encoding in .ceylon/config while?
Could you share the documentation which describes this(I might have missed this section) or share your file if possible.

Thank you

[Lucas Werkmeister]

Oh, that’s a javac error! Not what I expected – In that case, your Ceylon config won’t help :D
Can you try running ant with a '-Dfile.encoding=UTF8' argument?
If that works, we need a way to enforce that all the time. This StackOverflow answer might be helpful.

(Also, for what it’s worth, I was referring to this, but as I said, it won’t help in this case.)

[Dheeraj Joshi]

Hey Lucas,
That helped by appending '-Dfile.encoding=UTF8' to the ant command.

Thank a lot :)

[Lucas Werkmeister]

You’re welcome! I just submitted a pull request to the ceylon-common repository to fix this (#40); could you please test it? (You are @djadmin on Github, right?)
