Rdoc does not document UTF-8 files?

Ruby
1

Hi,

yesterday I tried to document a piece of code I had written in Ruby 1.9.
But it turned out that Rdoc wasn’t able to document my UTF-8 encoded
file! Reduced to a minimal example, this file…

#Encoding: UTF-8
#test file

#test class
class A

#test method
def a
puts “a”
end

end

…can’t be documented if encoded in UTF-8. When I tried it again with
an encoding of Windows-1252 (yes, I’m using Ruby on Windows…) it
worked fine. I tried both the versions 2.2.2 and 2.4.3 of Rdoc but
neither of it worked - regardless of whether I used an additional “-c
UTF-8” parameter or not.

I’m using ruby 1.9.1-p129 on Windows XP SP3. Because I was telled at the
German Ruby forum
(http://forum.ruby-portal.de/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=9792) that this worked
fine on OS X I suspect that this is a Windows issue. Is there some fix
about it or am I just doing something wrong?

The -c parameter currently only controls the value that shows up in
the HTML meta element. Eventually it will control the encoding of the
output files, but never the input files.

It doesn’t work for me on OS X, please file a bug.

Sorry, but I’ve never filed a Rdoc or even Ruby bug before. Where can I
do this?
