invalid byte sequence

I'm encountering issues running I18n-tasks. My online research has not uncovered any solutions.

Here are my output logs.

I had the same problem just now. Because I needed a quick solution I opened a file causing the error ~/.rbenv/versions/2.2.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/i18n-tasks-0.8.0/lib/i18n/tasks/scanners/pattern_scanner.rb. I first output the paths to see which file blows up the scanning. In my case it was an otf font in app/assets/fonts/ so I edited the scan_file method to skip files in my app/assets.

    def scan_file(path, opts = {})
      return [] if path.match /app\/assets\//
      # ... rest of the code omitted
   end

This is not a solution but at the moment I cannot dig deeper. Hope it helps.

I will release a new version with .otf excluded by default and a better error message.

Should be fixed in v0.8.1, please update and set search.exclude to:

search:
  exclude:
    - app/assets/images
    - app/assets/fonts

Thank you. Ultimately, I discovered it was a SWF file in my assets that was throwing the exception. Adding the search exclusions to the YAML file resolved this.
