Re: [Rails-devel] Output of failed tests (a3aed4)

Stefan,

Not sure what has changed, but on another attempt to run the JUnit tests I'm
getting massive differences, all related to one specific special character
being differently encoded. 
Error messages are like:

real\1889_A(test.TestGame)
junit.framework.ComparisonFailure: Reports differ in line 5
expected:<PlayerCash,[Â]¥420> but was:<PlayerCash,[]¥420>

and 

real\18EU_A(test.TestGame)
junit.framework.ComparisonFailure: Reports differ in line 611
expected:<...OMPANY_LOG,Joakim,KK[ÖB,$70,$140,2,20,KKÖ]B> but
was:<...OMPANY_LOG,Joakim,KK[ÖB,$70,$140,2,20,KKÖ]B>

Only 1889 (on the ¥) and 18EU (on the Ö) fail this way.  No more failures
with other games.
My best guess for a cause is that Unicode characters in the .report files
are no longer recognised as such.  Can the formats in the repository have
changed?

Erik.
