dat API: writeFile encoding option is not optional

[marcelklehr]

Operation System: Ubuntu 16.04
Beaker Version: 8c32d5c

I tried to dat.writeFile without specifying an encoding and got an exception. I assumed utf8 (or anything else, really) would be the default encoding due to the ? in the method signature in the docs. I might have been assuming wrong, though :)

You're assumption is right, it should be optional. What exception did you get?

[marcelklehr]

A WriteFileError, I think. The error message was an empty string.

[pfrazee]

Can you confirm that was the error? A WriteFileError is an unexpected internal issue. If you run Beaker from the CLI, you should see a more descriptive error in the console if that occurs.

Also what was your usage of the method?

[marcelklehr]

Ah, the CLI log was helpful. I had a trailing slash in the filename... My bad, sorry for the noise :)

[pfrazee]

No worries!
