Encoding error

Encoding::CompatibilityError in Rails_admin/main#dashboard

Showing /home/snake/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p327@holidays/gems/rails_admin-0.3.0/app/views/rails_admin/main/_dashboard_history.html.haml where line #9 raised:

incompatible character encodings: UTF-8 and ASCII-8BIT
Extracted source (around line #9):

6: %th.changes= t("admin.table_headers.changes")
7: %tbody
8: - @history.each do |t|
9: - abstract_model = RailsAdmin.config(t.table).try(:abstract_model)
10: %tr

12: - if o = abstract_model.try(:get, t.item)

Have the same problem. All of my source code is written with UTF-8. I use mysql2 gem, so there is no problem with the older mysql adapter.

And more details. This happened when I switched to the edge gem from github. Also I have checked the database - all of my columns are in UTF-8.

[lakehouseru]

I think this fix #1423 causes this issue.

[lakehouseru]

The only wayaround for this error is to roll back to rails_admin 0.2.0 gem. This is very frustraiting ((

I have same issue.

Found other way to work with 4+ version - just to turn off the history in rails_admin.rb initializer by commenting this string

config.audit_with :history, 'User'

I encountered the same issue. Commenting config.audit_with out works for me.

[bobbdelsol]

I encountered the same issue. I wasn't using config.audit_with.

My solution was to not allow the fields I was using UTF-8 on to be displayed or edited. I used Javascript from the web console to change values in those fields by adding a method accessed via $.post.

Closing this since the history adapter is legacy and will be disused.
