Build fails on Jenkins with

[Stefan Eike]

Hi,

I have a job that successfully runs locally, but fails on our Jenkins CI instance. It seems that someone uses a forbidded character, probably this one: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/fc/index.htm, somewhere. I cannot find it and I absolutely have no idea how I should debug this any further. Could someone please give me a debugging advice?

Thank you very much!

Hi Radu,

thank you for your suggestion. I tried both <xsl:output method="text" encoding="UTF-8"/> and <xsl:output method="text" encoding="UTF-16"/>, but the build still fails with the same message.

Hi Stefan,

So the cause for this is probably the fact that you have an umlaut "ü" in a file or a folder path somewhere, then that "ü" gets in the ".job.xml" which should be found in the transformation temporary files folder (so you can search for it there), then the job-helper.xsl tries to process it and probably and fails because it tries to output text files with ASCII encoding. But I cannot reproduce this problem (unless I manually specify encoding='ASCII' in the stylesheet) on my side as Saxon by default uses UTF-8 as the default encoding for writing both text and XML files.

Regards,

Radu

There are also other problems when using German accented characters in file and folder paths. I added one such problem some time ago:
https://github.com/dita-ot/dita-ot/issues/2476

So you should avoid such characters in the file and folder paths for now.

Hi Radu,

I supposed the same. But there is no file or directory containing any special characters. I'm aware of this problem and we have validators for checking this. The problem only occurs on the Jenkins, the build runs fine on Windows. It is probably some kind of side effect... And I run other projects with the same settings on the same Jenkins instance without any problems...

Stefan

Hi,

I have found and fixed the problem. The build failed after processing the file image.list, which is created in the temp dir. This file contains paths to images. In this file, I have found two paths with Umlauts (ü). The files themselves were correctly renamed, but someone missed to fix the (broken) hrefs in the topics. Now the build runs fine.

Thanks again, Radu!

Greetings,
Stefan
