Repo status - Windows - TypeError

[Al3]

Hi all,

I searched for this solution in all directions, this is my last resort.

I would really love use this great tool, please help me.

• I correctly installed git (following this), yes I enabled the symlink option.
• I correctly installed a fresh copy of Python (3.14).
• I correctly checked for the Python path and the used version from repo.
• I can successfully run the following commands (from the git bash - MINGW64):
  • repo --version
  • repo --help
  • repo init
  • repo sync

But when I run repo status (after I made a change into my project repo) I get a long empty lines followed by the following:

object address  : 0000026C69755A20
object refcount : 3
object type     : 00007FFC429E9EA0
object type name: TypeError
object repr     : TypeError("a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'")
lost sys.stderr
(END)

Someone suggests that this is related to the python string conversion (from utf-8 to unicode), but does not provide a solution.

Anyone that can help me on this?

Kind regards,

Al3
