[erlang-questions] file:consult {error, {1, file_io_server, invalid_unicode}} with pre-r17 files in r17

[Russell Brown]

Hi,
With the release of r17, certain files that were written in earlier versions of erlang are not `file:consult/1`-able in r17.

Here is a simple module that shows the issue: https://gist.github.com/russelldb/4f8fe205bd5a5a1cd136

If I change line 13 to

	io_lib:format(“~w.", [Term]),

Everything works just fine. However, legacy files were written in r16 using

	io_lib:format("~p.", [Term]),

And I’d like to be able to read them into erlang terms in r17, has someone already tackled this?

Many thanks in advance for your suggestions

Russell
