Git commit message with non ASCII character raises error

[fuadsaud]

Running deploy with the last git commit message containing a non ASCII character throws:

invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII

[rstacruz]

If anyone can help debug this, that'd be swell. I'd like to see the entire error message if there's more to it.

@rstacruz add this to the top of all the files:

# encoding: utf-8

Or at least all files that accept varying input.

[sethvargo]

Lol I was just about to suggest a fix... when I realized that I already did haha.

This is happening to me as I'm trying to setup a simple deploy with mina, but the character is not in the commit message but in my name.

Via Shell:

$ git --no-pager log --format="%aN (%h):%n> %s" -n 1
Felipe Martín (c26bb7b):
> Blog.Entry allow admin filter by draft status

Via mina deploy --trace:

-----> Using this git commit

       $ git --no-pager log --format="%aN (%h):%n> %s" -n 1
mina aborted!
invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII

Just had this issue again due to @henrebotha's name having an é in it.

Hi @fmartingr and @constantm please update the gem to the new version, this bug is fixed :)

[constantm]

Awesome thanks!

[fmartingr]

Thank you, will take a look :)

[constantm]

Nope, still an issue on 0.3.1

Hmm, I added some characters in my git name and tested it again.

$ git --no-pager log --format='%aN (%h):%n> %s' -n 1
Gabrijel adéoío (44c9c84):

[constantm]

Weird. Any ideas how I can help debug this?

[gabskoro]

Can you please write down your full name, and your last commit message?

[constantm]

➜ git --no-pager log --format='%aN (%h):%n> %s' -n 1
Henré Botha (03552a0):
> test

[gabskoro]

Wait, wait, I totally forgot that this error appears on your server :) Can you check your locales?

[constantm]

Aaaaaah. Okay, quick question - does Mina use the default shell for root (eg. Zsh), or does it use Bash?

[gabskoro]

As I know mina uses the default shell :)

[constantm]

Okay in that case setting the locales didn't fix the issue. I've added the exports to .zshrc, and the only thing is changes is LC_ALL and LANGUAGE. The rest were at en_US.UTF-8 already. Running locales as root shows the following:

➜  ~  whoami
root
➜  ~  locale 
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

Deploys still don't work. :/

[gabskoro]

Ok, can you please add it to .bashrc just to test it?

This are my locales, I'm using .bashrc with legacy user

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

[constantm]

Added locales to .bashrc to root with no luck. I'm just going to change the name for now. Will comment here if I ever figure out what causes the issue.

[omer-clustox]

any update on this issue ? My name and commit message has no special character. Still I am getting this message.

[omer-clustox]

Got it resolved. Issue was due to missing local on my local pc. I run following on my terminal

export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
locale

mina deploy works fine now
