@aristidesfl Is there any chance you could send over a source file that you have this issue on? I'm failing to reproduce this even when saving files in different encodings. \xa9 as far as I can work out is a copyright symbol.

You shouldn't need to share any real code, something similar to this should be enough:

// This file is saved with ??? encoding
// and has a problematic symbol: ©

let abc = "hello"

Hopefully with that I can write a failing spec to fix against 😄

I'm not sure it is a problem with this file specifically.

EDIT: also noticed indexing: crawldb not available, indexing abandoned not sure if it is related to this plugin though..

[Dan2552]

The file works for me so indeed it mustn't be an issue with the file specifically then.

That indexing error definitely doesn't sound related to this plugin.

Are there any encoding specific settings in your preferences file?

Do the specs pass for you? Under the plugin directory run the run_tests script - it might require you first install python3 (brew install python3)

[franciscolourenco]

Error is being thrown by the plugin, its shown in the error. Tests pass:

source_kitten.complete - Performance test (2nd):  32 ms

I was referring to indexing: crawldb not available, indexing abandoned

Ok... That's good to see the tests pass I guess. Suggests something is different between our Sublime Text setups affecting it.

Could you paste in your preferences file? Might also be worth checking any other plugins you have installed but I'm not sure how's best to check them without uninstalling them 1 by 1 which I'd understand if you didn't want to do that.

(re ps: cheers, guess I never tried 😊 I'll log it)

This issue should be fixed in 08d213e (one of the commits from PR #26.)

The solution was to convert to UTF-8 and store the temporary file as binary.
