Catmandu::Importer::YAML fails on UTF8: Catmandu::Importer encoding broken

[nichtich]

With YAML::XS, which is preferred by YAML::Any, the YAML importer fails when importing UTF-8 YAML files:

$ echo "umlaut: Ü" | catmandu convert YAML
YAML::XS::Load Error: The problem:

    invalid trailing UTF-8 octet

was found at document: 0

This behaviour of YAML::XS is documented (see https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=54683) and won't be changed. I suppose it can be fixed by adding an encoding parameter, but this is not documented and by a bug in Catmandu::Importer or Catmandu::App::convert the parameter is not passed to the file handle anyway. This should work (it does when hard-coding "raw" in Catmandu::Importer!), but it does not:

$ echo "umlaut: Ü" | catmandu convert YAML --encoding :raw

Even when it worked, the defaul!t encoding setting (:utf8) is annoying at least for YAML. I have not tested with JSON and I won't invest more work in fixes that don't get released anyway :-(. .

Part of the problem has already been issued half a year ago: https://github.com/LibreCat/Catmandu/issues/24

Still (or again?) broken in Catmandu version 0.9204. Please don't close unless covered by unit test and release at CPAN.

Fixed in release 0.9205.
