issue running 'ebooks archive' a second time

[tape-]

Running 'ebooks archive' to download my tweets worked fine the first time, but subsequent attempts to run it result in the following error:

Faraday::Builder is now Faraday::RackBuilder.

Don't know for sure but it seems like an encoding problem. Did you open or edit the archive file and accidentally? Also make sure that the following is at the top of any related scripts:

encoding: UTF-8

If you can somehow switch to Ruby 2.1+ that might help too.

I hadn't edited the archive file. the encoding line is in all the scripts that I saw referenced in the error.

now I'm having trouble getting twitter to authenticate with 'ebooks archive'. however, I was able to download my twitter archive from my twitter.com settings page and consume the tweets.csv file. I guess if all else fails I can just do that periodically.

I had the same issue. I solved it by setting an UTF-8 locale.

You can check your configuration by typing locale in a terminal.

README now specifies that we require Ruby 2.0+ (we use some 2.0-specific features as well)

I'm still having this exact problem with twitter_ebooks 3.0.4 and ruby 2.0
