Genshi UnicodeDecodeError error while rendering template '/var/trac/.egg-cache/TracHoursPlugin-0.5.2-py2.4.egg-tmp/trachours/templates/hours_ticket.html', line 39, char -1

You probably have a special character in your date like "März".

Try:

<td>${unicode(record['date_started'], 'utf-8')}</td>

I had the same issue with the 0.11 version. What helped me was the above with the following exceptions:

• the function name is to_unicode()
• omit the second parameter 'utf-8'

So what worked for me was:

<td>${to_unicode(record['date_started'])}</td>

By the way: what would happen, if someone uses special characters within their comments? Would that be dealt with directly when they enter the comment or would we face the same error

(In [12205]) Refs #8570:

• Fixed UnicodeDecode Error when rendering template for /hours/<id> when months contained unicode characters.
• Misc refactoring. The data dictionary in process_ticket was being implicitly populated. Changed this to explicit population of the dictionary to improve code clarify and make it easier to eliminate unused variables.

Please report back how it is working for you if you have a chance to test with the latest version of the trunk.
