error:malformed URI sequence

[okido]

Since I updated to core 2.4.1 and after an import from another TW I
get the following error when using the for each macro: URIError:
malformed URI sequence.
You can click the message box away without any problem.
I suspect that there is a tiddler with a poor title, how to debug
this???

Have a nice day, Okido

I've had that recently, and it took me half a day to debug - turns out
there was a tiddler* containing "malformed" wiki markup*, which caused
this exception when being rendered.
So if you open the imported tiddlers one after another, you should be
able to identify the culprit.

HTH.

Hi FND,

I opened all tiddlers and found one that had an % in the title.
Problem solved.

Thanks, Okido

I had the same problem with a @ in the title.
It was causing ForEachTiddler to fail.

It would be nice to have a list of special characters that cause this kind of fault and a means by which to list them (without error) so one can rename them, alternatively debug tiddlywiki to to allow more characters in the title without error.

If you have not found an easy way to do it with TiddlyWiki, you have missed something.

I've created a page on the community wiki:
http://www.tiddlywiki.org/wiki/URIError:_Malformed_URI_Sequence
Feel free to create a list of problematic characters there.

> debug tiddlywiki to to allow more characters in the title without error

It's already on the list of things we need to look into.
The more information we have (ideally, reproducible test cases), the
easier it will be for us to identify the problem.

Indeed, such a list would be good.

I used YourSearchPlugin to find such culprits. But any search plugin
would be able to.
