String#encode return string containing invalid chars but marked as valid

Added by pplr (Pierre PLR) over 12 years ago. Updated over 11 years ago.

Status:
Closed
[ruby-core:43557]

Description

a = " \xE9 ".encode('UTF-8', 'UTF-8', :invalid => :replace, :replace => "?")
a.valid_encoding?
=> true
a
=> " \xE9 "
a.squeeze
ArgumentError: invalid byte sequence in UTF-8
from (irb):32:in squeeze' from (irb):32 from /usr/bin/irb:12:in '

The expected string is " ? ", as the documentation for the ":replace" options says :
If the value is :replace, encode replaces invalid byte sequences in str with the replacement character.

Nobu fixed this so it won't return true anymore, which would be a lie.

a
=> " \xE9 "

The expected string is " ? ", as the documentation for the ":replace" options says :
If the value is :replace, encode replaces invalid byte sequences in str with the replacement character.

I added documentation to say that encoding from encoding A to the same encoding A is a no-op. Changing this would not be impossible, but would involve quite some work, and would make these operations slower.
