ActionView::Template::Error (incompatible character encodings: UTF-8
and ASCII-8BIT): app/controllers/posts_controller.rb:27:in `new'
# GET /posts/new
def new
if params[:post]
@post = Post.new(post_params).dup
if @post.valid?
render :action => "confirm"
else
format.html { render action: 'new' }
format.json { render json: @post.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }

I don't know why it is happening.
- Make sure
config.encoding = "utf-8" is there in application.rb file.
- Make sure you are using
'mysql2' gem instead mysql gem
- Putting
# encoding: utf-8 on top of rake file.
Above Rails.application.initialize! line in environment.rb file, add following two lines:
Encoding.default_external = Encoding::UTF_8
Encoding.default_internal = Encoding::UTF_8
solution from here: http://rorguide.blogspot.in/2011/06/incompatible-character-encodings-ascii.html
If above solution not helped then I think you either copy/pasted a part of your Haml template into the file, or you're working with a non-Unicode/non-UTF-8 friendly editor.
If you can recreate that file from the scratch in a UTF-8 friendly editor. There are plenty for any platform and see whether this fixes your problem.
Sometimes you may get this error:
incompatible character encodings: ASCII-8BIT and UTF-8
That typically happens because you are trying to concatenate two strings, and one contains characters that do not map to the character-set of the other string. There are characters in ISO-8859-1 that do not have equivalents in UTF-8, and vice-versa and how to handle string joining with those incompatibilities requires the programmer to step in.
I was upgrading my rails and spree and the error was actually coming from cache
Deleting the cache solved the problem for me
rm -rf tmp/cache
