error when running ER example on Windows OS

[drmr-anki]

I tried the sbt command "sbt "project saulExamples" "runMain edu.illinois.cs.cogcomp.saulexamples.nlp.EntityRelation.EntityRelationApp", in cygwin terminal on Windows, but it gave the error: It was solved with the flag"-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 ". Maybe we should add it to the README file.

Later I had the following error, but it doesn't affect running the code. I am still able to enter the user interface and input the sentences.

Not sure what to do about it.

This last error is not only for windows, it has been always there because of the logger. Though it does not hurt but would be great if we can find a solution that it does not appear in there.

@drmr-anki could you include the full error log? (first picture) I suspect that you don't have the data necessary to run the ER example. (and ignore the error messages related to the logger)

Here is the full error log. Since I could run the example after adding the UTF-8 flag, I think it's related to the Windows system or the Cygwin terminal. java.nio.charset.UnmappableCharacterException: Input length = 1 at java.nio.charset.CoderResult.throwException(Unknown Source) at sun.nio.cs.StreamDecoder.implRead(Unknown Source) at sun.nio.cs.StreamDecoder.read(Unknown Source) at java.io.InputStreamReader.read(Unknown Source) at java.io.BufferedReader.fill(Unknown Source) at java.io.BufferedReader.read(Unknown Source) at scala.io.BufferedSource$$anonfun$iter$1$$anonfun$apply$mcI$sp$1.apply $mcI$sp(BufferedSource.scala:38) at scala.io.Codec.wrap(Codec.scala:68) at scala.io.BufferedSource$$anonfun$iter$1.apply(BufferedSource.scala:38 ) at scala.io.BufferedSource$$anonfun$iter$1.apply(BufferedSource.scala:38 ) at scala.collection.Iterator$$anon$9.next(Iterator.scala:162) at scala.collection.Iterator$$anon$17.hasNext(Iterator.scala:511) at scala.collection.Iterator$$anon$11.hasNext(Iterator.scala:327) at scala.io.Source.hasNext(Source.scala:226) at scala.collection.Iterator$class.foreach(Iterator.scala:727) at scala.io.Source.foreach(Source.scala:178) at scala.collection.TraversableOnce$class.addString(TraversableOnce.scal a:320) at scala.io.Source.addString(Source.scala:178) at scala.collection.TraversableOnce$class.mkString(TraversableOnce.scala :286) at scala.io.Source.mkString(Source.scala:178) at scala.collection.TraversableOnce$class.mkString(TraversableOnce.scala :288) at scala.io.Source.mkString(Source.scala:178) at scala.collection.TraversableOnce$class.mkString(TraversableOnce.scala :290) at scala.io.Source.mkString(Source.scala:178) at de.heikoseeberger.sbtheader.HeaderCreator.<init>(HeaderCreator.scala: 30) at de.heikoseeberger.sbtheader.HeaderCreator$.apply(HeaderCreator.scala: 65) at de.heikoseeberger.sbtheader.HeaderPlugin$.de$heikoseeberger$sbtheader $HeaderPlugin$$createHeader(HeaderPlugin.scala:123) at de.heikoseeberger.sbtheader.HeaderPlugin$$anonfun$4$$anonfun$apply$2. apply(HeaderPlugin.scala:114) at de.heikoseeberger.sbtheader.HeaderPlugin$$anonfun$4$$anonfun$apply$2. apply(HeaderPlugin.scala:114) at scala.collection.TraversableLike$$anonfun$flatMap$1.apply(Traversable Like.scala:251) at scala.collection.TraversableLike$$anonfun$flatMap$1.apply(Traversable Like.scala:251) at scala.collection.immutable.List.foreach(List.scala:318) at scala.collection.TraversableLike$class.flatMap(TraversableLike.scala: 251) at scala.collection.AbstractTraversable.flatMap(Traversable.scala:105) at de.heikoseeberger.sbtheader.HeaderPlugin$$anonfun$4.apply(HeaderPlugi n.scala:114) at de.heikoseeberger.sbtheader.HeaderPlugin$$anonfun$4.apply(HeaderPlugi n.scala:114) at scala.collection.TraversableLike$$anonfun$flatMap$1.apply(Traversable Like.scala:251) at scala.collection.TraversableLike$$anonfun$flatMap$1.apply(Traversable Like.scala:251) at scala.collection.immutable.List.foreach(List.scala:318) at scala.collection.TraversableLike$class.flatMap(TraversableLike.scala: 251) at scala.collection.AbstractTraversable.flatMap(Traversable.scala:105) at de.heikoseeberger.sbtheader.HeaderPlugin$.de$heikoseeberger$sbtheader $HeaderPlugin$$createHeadersTask(HeaderPlugin.scala:114) at de.heikoseeberger.sbtheader.HeaderPlugin$$anonfun$toBeScopedSettings$ 3.apply(HeaderPlugin.scala:98) at de.heikoseeberger.sbtheader.HeaderPlugin$$anonfun$toBeScopedSettings$ 3.apply(HeaderPlugin.scala:98) at scala.Function1$$anonfun$compose$1.apply(Function1.scala:47) at sbt.$tilde$greater$$anonfun$$u2219$1.apply(TypeFunctions.scala:40) at sbt.std.Transform$$anon$4.work(System.scala:63) at sbt.Execute$$anonfun$submit$1$$anonfun$apply$1.apply(Execute.scala:22 6) at sbt.Execute$$anonfun$submit$1$$anonfun$apply$1.apply(Execute.scala:22 6) at sbt.ErrorHandling$.wideConvert(ErrorHandling.scala:17) at sbt.Execute.work(Execute.scala:235) at sbt.Execute$$anonfun$submit$1.apply(Execute.scala:226) at sbt.Execute$$anonfun$submit$1.apply(Execute.scala:226) at sbt.ConcurrentRestrictions$$anon$4$$anonfun$1.apply(ConcurrentRestric tions.scala:159) at sbt.CompletionService$$anon$2.call(CompletionService.scala:28) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) [error] (saulExamples/compile:createHeaders) java.nio.charset.UnmappableCharacte rException: Input length = 1 [error] Total time: 4 s, completed Nov 7, 2016 9:48:42 PM

This is fixed by the Java option "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 ". Updated the README.md. Closing this as fixed.
