German Umlauts in Catalog

[Bjoern Meier]

Hi,

how can I use - with a puppet 3.8.3 x64 Windows clients - a File Resource  with öüä character. 

The test on the Master works fine.

On the Client I get: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII and he cannot ensure present on the file.

Thanks for helping me out.

If you are running `puppet agent` on Windows:

* what is the output of ruby -e "puts Encoding.default_external" on the master and agent?

* what is the agent's code page, e.g. chcp

* can you provide a gist of `puppet agent --test --trace` on Windows, showing the stacktrace?

* what encoding is the manifest stored in on the master?

If you are running `puppet apply`:

* what is the output of ruby -e "puts Encoding.default_external" on the agent?

* what is the agent's code page, e.g. chcp

* can you provide a gist of `puppet apply <manifest.pp> --trace` on Windows?

* what encoding is the manifest stored in on the agent?

Hi Josh,

ok, I think I found the problem, thanks to your questions. Our codepages in Windows are CP850, But the manifests and the master are UTF-8. Can I change the codepage only for ruby to UTF-8? If so, how? I'm not this familiar with ruby.

Thanks for helping.

Greetings,

Björn

Hi,

sounds like a fairly straight-forward reproduction. Have you opened a
Jira ticket for this? If not, would you?

I'm oddly disgusted and fascinated by this still being an issue (come on
Windows...can't you just unicode like all the other kids?) and might
just look into that. (Eventually.)

Cheers,
Felix

Is https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-5728 the same issue?

Hi Lindsey,

good find, interesting stuff. Not sure if that's the one, but it seems to make it clear that non-ASCII is only really supported in 4.3.3 and newer, or so I suppose.
