Sanitise attributes to avoid invalid byte sequence argument errors
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'utf8_attribute_sanitiser'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install utf8_attribute_sanitiser
In your model add utf8_attribute_sanitiser, specyfing list of attribute names to sanitise
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
utf8_attribute_sanitiser :name, :address
end
Default cleaning method is utf8mb4only and it only affects 4 byte characters
You can use aggressive clean method that strips out all invalud utf8 characters like
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
utf8_attribute_sanitiser :name, :address, method: :aggressive
end
$ rspec
