[Seaside-dev] testCodecLatin1 and testCodecUtf8Bom

[Michael Lucas-Smith]

Hi All,

#testCodecLatin1 and #testCodecUtf8Bom fail for me on VisualWorks.. once 
the Unicode string is created, #asByteArray is sent to it to "turn it 
back to bytes" but of course this is impossible, it's already a 
TwoByteString in VisualWorks and to turn that back to bytes, you need to 
specify an encoding using #asByteArrayEncoding: 'utf-8' (for example).

Can these tests be written with a custom compare operation? the comment 
in #testCodecLatin1 explains the problem - that comparing unicode 
strings using #= is not necessarily going to work across platforms, but 
perhaps something like this might work everywhere:

compare: a with: b
    a size = b size ifFalse: [^false].
    1 to: a size do: [:index | (a at: index) = (b at: index) ifFalse: 
[^false]].
    ^true

Cheers,
Michael
