Depending on what rake I call I keep getting these messages:
rake aborted! invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII
resp.
rake aborted! invalid byte sequence in UTF-8
I finally did an “ls -l” on my home directory, and I found a file with a weird name, created rather recently, with zero content. I removed that file, started rake again, and the problem was gone.
WTF does rake stumble upon files living in the neighbourhood of Rakefile? Well, it does. Maybe some search engine lead you here. Now you know, what to do.
