looks like maybe it's somehow an OSX issue. Travis wouldn't catch that.

The test is complaining that there folder test/success/unicode/Turmion Kätilöt doesn't exist. Can you post the results of this command?

$ find test/success/unicode/
test/success/unicode/
test/success/unicode/Turmion Kätilöt
test/success/unicode/Turmion Kätilöt/Hoitovirhe
test/success/unicode/Turmion Kätilöt/Hoitovirhe/Rautaketju.mp3
test/success/unicode/Turmion Kätilöt/Pirun nyrkki
test/success/unicode/Turmion Kätilöt/Pirun nyrkki/Mistä veri pakenee.mp3

here's another thing to try:

$ node -e "var fs=require('fs');console.log(fs.readdirSync('test/success/unicode'))"
[ 'Turmion Kätilöt' ]

I've reproduced this error on windows.

false alarm. I ran into a different problem.

Thanks andrewrk and melissanoelle for helping chase this issue down. It turns out unicode file names are spooky on mac. If a file name has an ä, linux and windows encode it as the unicode "\xc3\xa4", which is just the letter ä. But on mac, ä is an a followed by an umlaut: "\x61\xcc\x88". Why does mac make this more complicated? Why are there two ways to make the ä character in unicode? Whatever.

The conclusion is that the test harness can't trust the host file system, since some file systems scramble the bytes of the file names. I'll need to move the test data into the test code so that expected file paths are deterministic.

@maxogden, could you see if there are still any test failures for you? thanks.

@thejoshwolfe yep they pass now, thanks!
