Sorry for all these issues, I just wanted to ask if we can drop support for Ruby 1.8 as this is no longer officially supported? This would enable some shortcuts in the code.

I just lost so much time because it seems either this library, or my partners php base62 library is behaving very unexpectedly.

This one converts 10008287 to fzbz and his converts it to FZBZ.

I checked another base62 gem for sanity... this one: https://github.com/steventen/base62-rb

And it also does it as FZBZ. Every other library I've tried thus far uses uppercase.

Do you know why this is? I thought there was only 1 kind of base62, without any room for variation?

Not sure what the issue is: It doesn't seem to find the gem. require nor the monkey-patched code works.

0.base62_encode returns empty string but it should return "0"

@jtzemp, I'd like to move the String and Integer extensions to a separate require, so you can do require "base62/ext" if you need the patches.

This is to enable using the gem in other gems without monkey-patching the using projects.

Thoughts?

Hi @jtzemp,

I have prepared the project for Travis-CI to enable automated testing of the supported Ruby versions and new incoming pull requests.

Could you go to https://travis-ci.org/profile/jtzemp and flick the On switch for the project. This enables hooks for Travis-CI when we push to the GitHub repo.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot for this plugin but it seems that rubygems still has the non-compatible version.
