[Patch] There is still error with non-ascii character if ticket's priorities or title contains non-ascii char

[Yunior Armando Hernandez Andrade]

I just installed the pluggin and all requirements and give it a try... this error showed up

Trac detected an internal error:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 171: ordinal not in range(128)

[Felix Tiede]

Do you have any non-ascii characters in your ticket's priorities or severities?

Did you try from a ticket without any non-ascii characters in its summary?

In the first case please try the latest revision ([4993]) and tell me if the problem remains.

well my trac was set for a spanish speaking development team so there are losts of accute caracters like (áéíóú) and probably some (äëïöü) but I'm not sure if those are non ascii caracters. Now i'm getting a similar error in some other parts of my trac, viewing some tickets details outputs the following error: File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/genshi/core.py", line 494, in escape

text = unicode(text).replace('&', '&') \

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1314: ordinal not in range(128)

so maybe it is not just your pluggin... anyway people will almost always (I did) download from any link with a zipped file than directly to repository so you should consider updating links to zipped files when creating a patch for you pluggin. I will keep track and report back... thanks.

Replying to yahernandez@estudiantes.uci.cu:

Characters with accents (like á) are most certainly non-ascii at least and Umlauts (like ä) are probably non-ascii.

Now i'm getting a similar error in some other parts of my trac, viewing some tickets details outputs the following error: File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/genshi/core.py", line 494, in escape

text = unicode(text).replace('&', '&') \

That one looks familiar and I assume similar lines in my plugin to cause this error. I have to ask you to test a patch I'll attach later to confirm my suspicion. If it solves the problem the patch will be integrated and available via zip-link from the wiki page.

Patch to decode non-ascii characters into entities for tooltips

[Felix Tiede]

(In [5200]) Proposed patch for non-ASCII characters in ticket summaries. This hopefully fixes #4240.

[Felix Tiede]

(In [5232]) Another run at encoding unicode in tooltips, refs #4240.

So far, this worked for characters 128-255.

[Felix Tiede]

(In [5234]) This now also shows double quotes in tooltips. Refs #4240.

[Nicolas.Chaverou@…]

Just to say that, even with the new patches, we still have an error when having accents (éèà...) in our ticket summaries.

The displayed error is still the same : 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position... For now, we wrote a function that strips the accent...

I donwloaded plugin from SVN (version 5234). There is still problem, if ticket priority contains unicode character. Here is stack trace:

[Felix Tiede]

(In [5302]) Removed ASCII-bound type cast for coloring !depgraph nodes. Fixes #4240 (hopefully).

[F. Duarte]

Sorry, I just tryed it these days and it still doesn't work with accents in ticket's summary.

[Felix Tiede]

I've tested again with a newly created ticket with unicode characters and it works here.

I'm sorry, I can't reproduce the bug.
