Error 500 when reading -any- repository file

[DemmyDemon]

Whenever I open any repositry file, I get an error 500.
My redmine log shows:

ActionView::TemplateError (uninitialized constant Redmine::CodesetUtil) on line #15 of vendor/plugins/redmine_ultraviolet/app/views/common/_file.rhtml: 12: </style> 13: 14: <div class="uv-file"> 15: <%= syntax_highlight( filename, Redmine::CodesetUtil.to_utf8_by_setting(content) ) %> 16: </div> 17: 18: <% content_for :header_tags do %>

I know this is because my Redmine is old as dirt (1.1.2~bpo60+1, Debian Squeeze backports), but it would be awesomesauce if it was stated somewhere that 1.4.2 (or whatever it is) is the required Redmine version.

So yeah, put my issue down as either "incomplete documentation" or "not backwards compatible" depending on how much work you want to do :-D

Ugh. That stupid CodesetUtil line was there to fix a bug in 1.4. Now it broke all the old ones? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.........

I don't have one redmine install to test with anymore, let alone the 6 of them necessary to service all the old releases.

Can you grep the Redmine 1.1 codebase for any "utf8" commands, and tell me which one I should be using?

Hopefully, this is what you wanted:

fvold@webkonsept:/usr/share/redmine$ find . -name \*.rb -exec grep -Hn utf8 {} \; ./test/unit/changeset_test.rb:224: def test_comments_should_be_converted_to_utf8 ./test/unit/changeset_test.rb:232: def test_invalid_utf8_sequences_in_comments_should_be_stripped ./vendor/gems/coderay-0.9.7/lib/coderay/scanners/php.rb:117: utf8_decode utf8_encode var_dump var_export ./lib/redmine/scm/adapters/mercurial_adapter.rb:109: cmd = "#{HG_BIN} --debug --encoding utf8 -R #{target('')} log -C --style #{shell_quote self.class.template_path}" ./app/models/changeset.rb:79: write_attribute(:committer, self.class.to_utf8(arg.to_s)) ./app/models/changeset.rb:168: to_utf8(str.to_s.strip) ./app/models/changeset.rb:249: def self.to_utf8(str) ./app/helpers/repositories_helper.rb:119: def to_utf8(str) ./app/helpers/attachments_helper.rb:31: def to_utf8(str) ./app/helpers/timelog_helper.rb:147: csv << headers.collect {|c| to_utf8(c) } ./app/helpers/timelog_helper.rb:169: row << to_utf8(format_criteria_value(criterias[level], value)) ./app/helpers/timelog_helper.rb:186: def to_utf8(s)
(edited: I suddenly realized you might want the line numbers for some reason)
(edited again: It really is fine by me if you say "Well, old-as-dirt is not supported", but it'd be nice if you said so in the documentation)

As for "should be using", I haven't the foggiest idea. Haven't done any Ruby programming since the nineties, and even then it was only to the "Hello world" level.
I tried figuring it out, but that failed horribly, I'm afraid.
