Gradle source encoding handling for tests

[Mark Hoffmann]

Hi all,

I currently migrated a project to bnd that uses cp1252 as source encoding.

As far I have read, gradle uses the default system encoding from the OS,
which is in that case also cp1252. So the build itself runs fine. But
the tests not. I experience "unmappable character for encoding UTF-8"
errors when compiling test sources.

I googled and found nothing that works:

- -Dfile.encoding=cp1252

- compileTestJava.option.encoding='cp1252'

- task.withType(Test) { systemProperty "file.encoding", "Cp1252" }

Am I doing sthg completely wrong or is there something special with the
bnd test tasks in that area, so that these properties have no effect?

Regards,

Mark

Hi all,

I finally found a solution by placing the build.gradle in the test
project with:

tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
    options.encoding = "cp152"

}

Maybe there is an more elegant place, to cover this setup for all projects?

Regards,

Mark

My god, just convert the frigging files to plain ASCII? That is a one time task and this encoding will bite you forever in the future.

And since CP1252 is ASCII++, the number problems is probably quite minimal?

Telling the customer they wrong is always the most fun part of the job of being a consultant :-) Especially when, like in this case, you're right. 

We recently talked about purity and hacks that make builds more complicated. This is a perfect example. It looks innocuous but with a few more of those you talk about serious problems down the line.

Kind regards,

Peter Kriens

... beside the fact that you are right, this makes their new build not complicated compared to what they have now ...

Ray formed the term "Frankenbuild", which hits exactly the point. And encoding problems are only one construction area...
