Possible write_bib bug

[csgillespie]

I think under certain locales, write_bib fails. See issue csgillespie/efficientR#113 raised by @jtruffa

There is not anything I can do on my end, since write_bib() simply calls citation(). The tibble package probably needs to declare Encoding: UTF-8 in DESCRIPTION, otherwise the multibyte character ü cannot be read correctly on Windows (cc @krlmlr).

I´m running this on a mac. Just to let you guys know.

[yihui]

Interesting. Mac should be okay. What is your sessionInfo()?

Why is your locale C? Did you change that intentionally? C is bad for processing multibyte characters. Typically your session info on OS X should look like this:

> sessionInfo()

Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin15.5.0 (64-bit)
Running under: OS X 10.11.5 (El Capitan)

locale:
[1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods   base     

I wonder how you installed R. You may take a look at this post http://superuser.com/questions/655273/r-locale-setting-problems-on-mac-os-x

[jtruffa]

Don´t know why is set to C. Never did it myself.

Seems like the command refered in that post don´t change my locales.
Looks like I have to do it myself...

[jtruffa]

don´t know why that is happening.

I have my only language set to Spanish.

No matter if I change something, the locale still gives me

LANG=
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_CTYPE="UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_ALL=

I´ve also tried to tell terminal not to set locales on every instance with no apparent luck so far

[jtruffa]

Done as shown with the sessionInfo.
locale from terminal still show previous values.
Stilll experiencing same problem when clicking on Knit

This is the print out of sessionInfo.
