assembly info errors with unicode / special characters

from @thecodejunkie, via the google group

The next issue appears to originate from the assembly info rewriting I do.. it outputs

"D:\My Dropbox\Development\Repositories\Nancy\src\Nancy.sln" (Clean;Build targe
t) (1) ->
"D:\My Dropbox\Development\Repositories\Nancy\src\Nancy\Nancy.csproj" (default
target) (4:16) ->
(CoreCompile target) ->
d:\My Dropbox\Development\Repositories\Nancy\src\SharedAssemblyInfo.cs(8,42):
error CS1009: Unrecognized escape sequence [D:\My Dropbox\Development\Reposito
ries\Nancy\src\Nancy\Nancy.csproj]
d:\My Dropbox\Development\Repositories\Nancy\src\SharedAssemblyInfo.cs(8,56):
error CS1009: Unrecognized escape sequence [D:\My Dropbox\Development\Reposito
ries\Nancy\src\Nancy\Nancy.csproj]

In the rake file I use

asm.copyright = "copyright © Andreas Håkansson and contributors"

(also tried single quotes) and in the outputted file I get

[assembly: AssemblyCopyright("copyright \251 Andreas H\345kansson and contributors")]

so it's blowing up on \251 and \345

Guessing this is more of a Ruby thing than an Albacore though... thanks!

My first guess is that we might need to do this in about line 34 of assemblyinfo.rb

File.open(assemblyinfo_file, 'w:UTF-8') do |f|

If not, I need to read this (about 4 times to absorb it), which must have the answer somewhere ;-) - http://blog.grayproductions.net/articles/ruby_19s_three_default_encodings

there's now a unicode branch that is trying to solve this... but i'm not having much luck, yet.

this won't be fixed in v0.2.3 because of compatibility issues with ruby 1.8.6. i've been unable to get my current changes working in ruby 1.8.6... the "w:UTF-8" option blows up. will have to look at this at a later time.
