rake test and error : log writing failed. “\xE2” from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8

Question

When I run rake test, I get error line every time.

log writing failed. \"\\xE2\" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8  

Please guide on this.

Answer 1

In my case some weird quotation marks were the culprit so I just replaced them with the safe characters like this,

msg = error.message.gsub(/[“”]/, "\"").gsub(/[‘’]/,"\'")
