UnicodeEncodeError

[MattSeen]

Hey,

Nice utility. Just wondering if you encountered this error while testing:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character u'\u2013' in position 175: character maps to <undefined>.

I'm guessing it's just some standard ascii/unicode issue?

Kind Regards,

• Matthew

@MattSeen What version of jiracli are you using? I guess it's a problem with Windows and utf-8. Never had this problem on GNU/Linux. Do you have a chance to try the same command (on the same jira server) with jiracli from a GNU/Linux machine? Just to be sure it's related to Windows.

[MattSeen]

These are the version I'm using:

jira (0.50)
jiracli (0.4.3)

I'll grab a distro in a while and give it a go.

Hey @toabctl just tried out jiracli on a Linux on a VM. It's able to communicate with Jira and doesn't spit those errors all right. Any thoughts on how to mitigate this error on Windows?

[toabctl]

@MattSeen No. I don't have a windows machine here to test it. Sorry.

[MattSeen]

No problem. I'll play around with it when I have some time soon, might put in a pull request.

[toabctl]

@MattSeen ok. Thanks!

@MattSeen any update here?
