I use mod_python for trac-devel -r 3025. This is my apache setting.

SetHandler mod_python
PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
PythonOption TracEnv /my/TracRepo
PythonOption TracLocale "ko_KR.utf8"
SetEnv PYTHON_EGG_CACHE /my/EggCache

If i delete "PythonOption TracLocale "ko_KR.utf8"", The error message is not occured.

[rbrown@…]

This happens to me also, and rolling back to r3022 makes the problem go away.

We generally use the en_GB locale, however removing references to locale in the apache config did not cure the problem for us.

This is a problem in our date formatting

Patch

[Christopher Lenz]

Can you try the attached patch and let me know whether it fixes the issue?

[tdkim@…]

Thanks for patch. I tested Trac -r 3032(head) and -r 3030.

I think that this is a new problem about UnicodeDecodeError.

[Christopher Lenz]

I guess this is related to your login name containing non-ASCII characters, right?

[Christopher Lenz]

Previously posted patch committed in [3035], which should fix the issue with date/time formatting.

[Christopher Lenz]

Patch for the login name issue

[Christopher Lenz]

I've attached another patch that should hopefully help with non-ASCII login names. Can you please try that again? Thanks.

[tdkim@…]

Thanks for your patch. But I use ASCII login names(AlphaNumeric).

I tested it for trac -r 3040.

Before the patch, the same error is occured at auth.py. After the patch, the error message is only

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'decode'

Whether I switched off the "PythonOption TracLocale "ko_KR.utf8"" or not, the same error is occured.

[tdkim@…]

Please ignore my previous posting. I need more testing for the problem.

After testing, I will post the test result. Thank you…

[tdkim@…]

The test result using trac-3040 with the patch.

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'decode'

The test result using trac-3040 without the patch.

Thanks for the correction.

I rolled back to r3022 and the problem is gone. 0Xc3 is indeed a character that appears in one of the text files that was changed in the changeset that caused the Oops.

[Christopher Lenz]

This should be fixed in [3084].

[Markus Tacker <m@…>]

[Christian Boos]

I can confirm that, for me at least, [3084] fixes the issue.

However, there's problably a better way to avoid the problem, as in this situation we try to explicitely convert both file contenst to utf8 (in _content_changes(old_node, new_node)).

As we already discussed, we should try to take into account the file encoding before comparing them. I'll see what I can do in this area.

[Christian Boos]

Please try out the following patch, it works for me even without r3084:

Patch on top of r3091 for doing the version control related diffs using unicode strings

[Johannes Rudolph <johannes_rudolph@…>]

OK, the small patch did certainly help. But I have some strange non-deterministic behaviour, sometimes it works without patch, sometimes it doesn't. My working copy seems to be somewhat corrupted…

[Christian Boos]

… but with the patch, does it always work or do you still have errors?

[Johannes Rudolph <johannes_rudolph@…>]

Yes, that was the only version which worked all times.

I think this should also be applied to util.markup.Fragment:

         return Fragment()[self, other]

[Christian Boos]

Well, Alec, I don't think so.

We have to convert unicode strings to plain str with a specified encoding only at clearly defined times, like when sending text to the browser (convert to utf8) or sending a generated mail (convert to the configured encoding), because we can't switch back and forth between encoded strings and unicode as the charset used for the encoding is not remembered.

If you make an object's __str__ return an UTF-8 encoded string, next time you'll call unicode on that, you'll most likely get an exception:

>>> class txt(object):
...    def __str__(self):
...      return u'été'.encode('utf-8')
...
>>> str(txt())
'\xc3\xa9t\xc3\xa9'
>>> unicode(txt())
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

with 'ascii' replaced by whatever is your sys.getdefaultencoding().

As for the patch above, I'll complement it with some fallback in the style of trac.util.to_utf8, in case there's still an UnicodeError exception raised. This can happen if a wrong charset has been associated to the file, using the svn:mime-type property.

[Christian Boos]

The issues with TracChangeset and TracBrowser modules are fixed by r3092. It should be noted that with that fix, r3084 is not needed, so I wonder if we should revert it in or not, since assuming an 'utf-8' encoding could lead to or mask other errors…

I also saw that Markus reported errors with the report module, which are probably still there, so I'll leave this ticket opened.

[Markus Tacker <m@…>]

Right. In r3092 the error still persists.

[PBruin]

I confirm that the problems I had with TracChangeset are resolved with r3092. Thanks.

[Alec Thomas]

Christian, that makes sense. However, I've been testing with the PEC data and #2868 causes an exception at source:sandbox/workflow/trac/web/clearsilver.py on line 235. markup.Markup is treated explicitly, but markup.Element is not, which I believe it should be. My previous patch fixed this.

I'm seeing this in WorkFlow though, so I could be not encoding something correctly, but my thought was that if it's already got explicit handling for Markup it probably should for Element?

Thanks for giving us report entry. While testing it, I could reproduce the error, but I had a slightly different error than you.

Can you try the following patch: attachment:another_2905_fix.diff​

First, there's a fix for cursor.description which used to give back an utf-8 encoded string (fixed pysqlite2 only so far).

Then, the "Fälligkeit" value was used in the HDF name, a situation rather unusual…

Yeah, the patch attachment:another_2905_fix.diff​ works.

Markus, the error just above is related to #2972. There's a patch there which I believe will work.

For the error with the TicketQuery macro, I've not been able to reproduce it, but it's probably the same cause as the other one.

[Markus Tacker <m@…>]

Right, the patch in #2972 fixed both errors. Thanks.

Removing myself from cc list.

[Christian Boos]

I think that as of r3141, there are no errors remaining (particularly thanks to r3137, which should fix the error with TicketQuery above)

[tdkim@…]

I used trac-r3213(dev) of trunk.

When I set the due date to the schedule of milestone, the problem is occured.

I use "2006년 03월 30일" as due date(YYYY년 MM월 DD일). This is a korean date/time format.

[Christian Boos]

Yes, I could reproduce this too.

Can you please upgrade to r3215 and try if that fix works for you?

[tdkim@…]

Thank you.

I tested the date input of "timeline", "due" and "completed" in r3215. The UnicodeEncodeError was fixed.

But new error is occured.

Internal Error
2006년 04월 30일 is not a known date format.

I think that it is similar to #2182

[Christian Boos]

Yes, that's another issue then, cmlenz just scheduled it for 0.11, to be part of our i18n effort.

I'll close this one for now (once more :) ).

[freesoitj@…]

I am sorry to reopen this ticket but I have an issue with UnicodeDecodeError too with 0.10.2 on Fedora Core 6 (x86-64). I am french and I have used non ascii names for component (at least I suppose I have since I can not see them anymore).

When I upgraded , quite a long time ago, new ticket and roadmap stopped working :

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 1-2: invalid data

When I go in WebAdmin, I can not edit components and when I use trac-admin, it is the same…

Trac [/var/trac/xxx]> component list
Command failed: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 1-2: invalid data
Trac [/var/trac/xxx]> 

Do you have any idea how I can recover?

[Christian Boos]

(Sorry for the delay)

You have to do some manipulations at the SQLite db level. Delete and replace the faulty components, rename their occurrences in ticket and ticket_change tables.

We already discussed about being tolerant with wrongly encoded strings in the database, and jonas vetoed using replacement chars (the rationale being that those errors shouldn't be silently ignored and must be fixed at the db level).

(restoring the fixed status for the 0.10 milestone)
