I am doing one the examples at the mechanize doc site and I want to parse the results using nokogiri.
My problem is that when the following line gets executed:
doc = Nokogiri::HTML(search_results, 'UTF-8' )
the following error occurs:
C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/nokogiri-1.4.4.1-x86-mingw32/lib/nokogiri/html/document.rb:71:in `parse': undefined method `name' for "UTF-8":String (NoMethodError)
from C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/nokogiri-1.4.4.1-x86-mingw32/lib/nokogiri/html.rb:13:in `HTML'
from mechanize_test.rb:16:in `<main>'
I have installed ruby 1.9 on a windows vista machine
The results returned by mechanize are non-latin (utf8)
The code sample follows.
# encoding: UTF-8
require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'
require 'nokogiri'
agent = Mechanize.new
agent.user_agent_alias = 'Mac Safari'
page = agent.get("http://www.google.com/")
search_form = page.form_with(:name => "f")
search_form.field_with(:name => "q").value = "invitations"
search_results = agent.submit(search_form)
puts search_results.body
doc = Nokogiri::HTML(search_results, 'UTF-8')
