Text Folding

In case it's not obvious, the problem, I believe, is that the \n's at the beginning of those lines should have a space in front of them.

That 'rputs dump' is hard to read on the website showing the ticket, but if it's like the email shows, the problem is that even in that dump, the Ruby String contains "at Crossr\noads:\n\nhttp". Notice that after Crossr, there is an unescaped carriage return, followed immediately by the oads characters. Isn't there supposed to be a space at the beginning of every folded line?

Here's the actual example:

    it "should properly fold on export" do
      @it.description = "Weather report looks nice, 80 degrees and partly cloudy, so following Michael's suggestion, let's meet at the food court at Crossroads:\n\nhttp://www.shopcrossroadsplaza.c...\n"
      export_string = @it.export
      export_string.should match(%r(^DESCRIPTION:Weather report looks nice\\, 80 degrees and partly cloudy\\, so$))
      export_string.should match(%r(^  following Michael's suggestion\\, let's meet at the food court at Crossr$))
      export_string.should match(%r(^ oads:\\n\\nhttp://www.shopcrossroadsplaza\.c\.\.\.\\n$))
    end

If that doesn't format, then it's in event_spec.rb in the latest push to github, except for the $ in the last regexp, which I just notice was missing and added, but it still passes.

Notice that I'm checking for an extra space after each line break. And I've attached a file which I wrote from the export which shows things look OK.

So there must be something else going on with your specific use case.

I think I found the problem.

it "should sanitize new lines" do
  @it.description = "Come and join us as we hear Andy Stanley take us deeper into how the accuser works in our lives..And how twisted our world is..\r\nYou will not want to miss these next two sessions."
  export_string = @it.export
  export_string.should match(%r(^DESCRIPTION:Come and join us as we hear Andy Stanley take us deeper into $))
  export_string.should match(%r(^ how the accuser works in our lives..And how twisted our world is..\\nYou$))
  export_string.should match(%r(^ will not want to miss these next two sessions.$))
end

The editor that is producing the content appears to be place "\r\n" in there. So, is it my responsibility to normalize new lines? If you run that, you will see that it is escaping the "\n" part of that "\r\n", but leaving the "\r".

I have attached an image of how Outlook is choking on the output.

DESCRIPTION:Come and join us as we hear Andy Stanley take us deeper into 
 how the accuser works in our lives..And how twisted our world is..
\nYou
  will not want to miss these next two sessions.

I'm not sure.

The spec says that an intentional line break should be escaped by \n or \N, but I'm unclear what is meant here by an intentional line break.

I guess I could convert any of
\n \r\n \r \n\r

into "\n" but I'm not sure that that's the right answer. I've asked calsify list for a recommendation, but they haven't been very responsive.
