Capybara encountered some issues cause utf8
Raw
utf8_issues.md

On a specific project I encountered some issues with encoding.

Capybara Launchy and html meta

When I used save_and_open_page the html page opens with bad encoding chars ( accent chars ).

To fix this I just add on my layout header this forgotten meta : <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

warning: regexp match /.../n against to UTF-8 string

During some tests I encountered this warning randomly due to faker data.

This is due to regexp apply on utf8 string with /n modifier. Modifier is used to overridden with encoding source, and generate this warn.

To fix this I remove the /nmodifier.
