UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte xxx

[hamsterbacke]

Hi there :)
again a utf-8 against iso-8859-15 issue.
Scriptserver has bash env utf-8
connects to host test.de with user oracle which has bash env de_DE.iso885915 set.
Script outputs an umlaut and Scriptserver shows error:

Unexpected error occurred. Contact the administrator.

The server.log says:

0xe4 is a german "ä" which is an output from a program that is being executed.
The only fix is to use a pipe and converting to utf-8 like so:
echo "This is a german umlaut ä" | iconv -f latin9 -t utf8

Hi @hamsterbacke, could you try using terminal mode? requires_terminal : true
(but it works only on Linux)
The fix, which I did in #376 works only for this mode (which is default on Linux)

[hamsterbacke]

Will try it.
It would be nicer if the scriptserver wouldn't kill the whole process just because of an unknown character.
As I filed bug #376 , it just got truncated but the script continued. Now the script gets killed.
I wouldn't mind to see a strange character or the character left out but continuing the script :)

[bugy]

yup, I'll keep the ticket open, to fix non-terminal mode

[hamsterbacke]

You are absolutely correct. I ticked the "Enable pseudo-terminal" box and now it accepts the non-utf8 latin9 aka iso-8859-15 characters. Sorry that I missed it the first time when you fixed it in #376 . Many thanks!

Cool, thanks for confirming
