Return to tracker

Last modified on Jan 23, 2009 by Mark van Lent

This is with the new xm.tracker package.

Steps to reproduce:: - Register an entry with a quoted character (e.g the Dutch 'geïnstalleerd')
- Now book it and you get a UnicodeDecodeError.

Fixed http://plone.org/products/extreme-management-tool/issues/79 by not doing an u'\n %s' but a '\n %s' as what gets put in can give a unicodedecodeerror.

It has resurfaced, reopening it.

It probably occurs when you have one normal entry and an entry with an umlaut in it: the concatination is probably at fault.

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 29: ordinal not in range(128)

Solution ought to be to encode everything as utf-8 first.

We (Reinout and me) cannot seem to reproduce it now...
