Problem with Unicode on Windows

[kferris10]

I am running into an issue with creating gists with unicode characters.

The characters are mangled when I try this code:

library(curl)
d3 <- "https://github.com/mbostock/d3/archive/v3.0.6.zip"
tmp <- tempfile()
curl::curl_download(d3, tmp, mode = "wb")
unzip(tmp)
unlink(tmp)

library(gistr)
gistr::gist_create(files = "d3-3.0.6/d3.js")

This might be a Windows issue because the same code works fine for @cpsievert .

@kferris10 taking a look now, thanks for the report

@kferris10 Can you reinstall from github and try again? I tested on on my windows virtual machine, and worked for me:

devtools::install_github("ropensci/gistr")
....etc. 

[sckott]

@benmarwick do you think you could test the above ex? i think you're on windows?

[benmarwick]

Characters look good to me, using windows:

devtools::install_github("ropensci/gistr")
library(curl)
d3 <- "https://github.com/mbostock/d3/archive/v3.0.6.zip"
tmp <- tempfile()
curl::curl_download(d3, tmp, mode = "wb")
unzip(tmp)
unlink(tmp)

library(gistr)
gistr::gist_create(files = "d3-3.0.6/d3.js")

Results in this: https://gist.github.com/benmarwick/7efe4346ce99cc63e3df

d3 = function() {
  var π = Math.PI, ε = 1e-6, d3 = {
    version: "3.0.6"
  }, d3_radians = π / 180, d3_degrees = 180 / π, d3_document = document, d3_window = window;
  function d3_target(d) {
    return d.target;
... etc. etc.
