Hi list,
I have a small Ruby CLI program that I want to call from emacs. This script
simply opens an emacs orgmode file from a specific location in my hard
drive, and does some text processing. When I call it from the terminal
directly, it works fine. When I call it from emacs, the script fails with
an encoding error.
I'm using this elisp to call it from emacs after a buffer is saved:
(defun test ()
> (let ((universal-coding-system-argument 'us-ascii-mac))
> (shell-command "/Users/myself/.rvm/bin/rvm ruby-1.9.3-p194 do
> /usr/bin/myrubyscript")
> ))
> (add-hook 'after-save-hook 'test)
After I save a buffer, the shell-command function is fired, but I get the
following output in the "*Shell Command Output*" buffer:
F, [2012-08-30T01:59:18.688827 #94004] FATAL -- : invalid byte sequence in
> US-ASCII (ArgumentError)
> /Users/myself/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/org-ruby-0.6.3/lib/org-ruby/parser.rb:89:in
> `split'
> /Users/myself/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/org-ruby-0.6.3/lib/org-ruby/parser.rb:89:in
> `initia
The strange thing is that the file that this script opens *is* accessible,
and is the same file it would open if it were fired up from the terminal.
For some reason, Emacs is getting in the way, but I have no idea what that
could be. Am I missing something? If someone could enlighten me here, I'd
be really grateful!
Thanks in advance,
- Marcelo.

By the way, I forgot to say that I have added the "(let
(universal-coding-system-argument 'us-ascii-mac))" in an attempt to fix it,
but it made no difference whatsoever.

Have you tried an UTF encoding? I think Ruby isn't as primitive as US-ASCII…

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the reply.
I've changed the func argument to 'utf-8-unix and it did not make a
difference. Same error.

Alright, I solved it.
The problem is that emacs' shell-command doesn't use the same environment,
so it wasn't picking up the value of those three vars:
✗ export | grep UTF
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
So, I did this:
(defun test ()
(setenv "LANG" "en_US.UTF-8")
(setenv "LC_ALL" "en_US.UTF-8")
(setenv "LC_CTYPE" "en_US.UTF-8")
(shell-command "/Users/myself/.rvm/bin/rvm ruby-1.9.3-p194 do
/usr/bin/rubyscript")
)
And now it works fine.
Cheers,
- Marcelo.

There are more options…
When you want GNU Emacs to run in an en_US.UTF-8 environment you can either use the three setenv statements in you init file or make the system use this to launch GNU Emacs:
env LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 emacs … &
If you want to restrict en_US.UTF-8 for the Ruby sub-shell you could also use without the setenv statements:
(shell-command "env LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 /Users/myself/.rvm/bin/rvm ruby-1.9.3-p194 do /usr/bin/rubyscript")
The best option, IMO, is though to set in your login script (~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile) the en_US.UTF-8 environment. Then you'd have this available everywhere: in shells inside terminal emulations, the X Windows system, and its clients.
