Error writing string output

[edporras]

Hi Russ,

We've been running into some hangs while writing EDN output with long strings. Reading it is no problem but trying to save it as an EDN file never completes.

Here's a file containing one of these strings:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/540179/edn-ruby/long_string.edn

Trying to write it will just hang:

  File.open('./long_string.edn') { |file| data = EDN.read(file) }
  pp data
  File.open('output.edn', 'w') { |file| file.write(data.to_edn) }

Ed,

Sorry you are having troubles. I think it is not exactly hanging as it is taking a very long time.

I've just pushed a branch with a fix: faster-string-to-edn. It passes all the tests, but I want to think it through in the daylight before I merge and release.

Again, sorry for the pain.

ED,

I'd like to add a test for this problem - is it ok if I check in your data?

hey Russ,

Thanks for getting to this so quickly. I checked and it's no problem. Let me know if you push a new version as we could really use it. :)

Fixed in version 1.0.8.
