Duplicate entries for tags with spÉcial characters

[benbonnet]

Updated and all, but the problems remains.

If for example the word "Numérique" is saved, and if it already exists, acts_as_taggable breaks.
Same will go for "numerique".

Is there a way to handle it ?

You have to either provide a test case or backtrace.
If you are using Mysql, check your encoding.

[benbonnet]

Sorry for that

Here is a gist of what occurs : https://gist.github.com/bbnnt/7aadc59bea0edb24630d
"Numérique" exists and saves, but "Numerique" does not exists nor saves, breaks instead. It is actually because of the key, as far as I can understand, but I really don"t know how to solve it

Encoding of the table is UTF-8 unicode and collation is utf-8_general_ci

I can't reproduce this bug.

[seuros]

Can you reproduce it with a fresh database/app ?

[benbonnet]

Yes :/
I've done a rake db:drop db:create db:migrate

Then tried again, starting with only the command that you'l see in the gist / capture
https://gist.github.com/bbnnt/d5a5489182ac7bfe9be8
( I've highlighted the commands to make it clearer here http://cl.ly/image/1F391b0n3O1x?_ga=1.72731347.1360774124.1418737841 )

I checked again, the table has the encoding specified above, by default

Could reproduce this bug. It also happens with the Japanese space -> "　"

Too bad it is not such an issue for the maintainer ad the logs provided pretty much shows that it does occurs

That not nice from you, this is an OpenSource project you can step up, fix it and send a PR.
Your argument will be valid if i refused/ignored to merge a fix.

[benbonnet]

@seuros that was not an argument; but more or less to get a reply from you (:
I'll get into this

@bbnnt This project is really hard to maintain. It's a really old code base with lots of bugs, frequently reported issues, and none of the maintainers, as far as I know, use it anymore.

[benbonnet]

@bf4 damn i'm getting old-schooled ! would you recommend another gem that has similar functionalities ?

[seuros]

@bbnnt The fact that we don't use this gem don't mean we using a better alternative. It simply mean we don't need it.
