Ruby - Invalid Multi Byte Character
Scenario1:
When I try to run ruby command there was a following error occurring
“D:/wikiTechy/9.ruby/1.ruby-commands/hello.rb:1: invalid multibyte char (UTF-8)”
Reason:
- Invalid multibyte char (UTF-8) – mostly if the code is typed in notepad and saved in your required format.
- This issue will occur because of the reason: its plain text and most of the compilers will be looking for Unicode Text format for execution
Fix:
Type your code in a proper editor like dream viewer, brackets and high end editors and save it. This issue will be resolved
Scenario2:
When I try to run the ruby command in the following path D:/wikiTechy/9.ruby/1.ruby-commands/hello.rb:1:in `<main>': the following error will occur undefined local variable or method `world,' for main:Object (NameError)
Reason:
Here we define the undefined local variable or method `world,' for main:Object (NameError) – this is due to the content or syntax in the rb file is wrong.
Fix:
Check out the content in the ruby file and put the content hello world, instead of ‘hello world’
