code formatting encoding problem

[xinstein]

I'm using vscode in windows 10, when I format the code, Chinese characters inside the code (including comments) are transformed into <U+1231>-like form. I've tried on another computer and no such problem occurs, I've played around with quite a few ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES without any effect. I'm wondering what config options or env vars are related to this issue, thank you very much!

Looks like your system locale is not consistent with your encoding in R?

What happens if you use the following:

styler::style_file("your-file.R")

styler::style_file("your-file.R")

That works fine, no <U+> produced. Same file gets messed up by the vscode formatting command

Any suggestions? How should I configure the environment to make it right? Thank you~

We only support UTF-8 files. It does sound that the R environment that language server is running on has an incorrect locale. Could you report the following

Rscript -e "Sys.getlocale()"

My file is certainly UTF-8 encoded, see the snapshot

Here's the output of Sys.getlocal() :

>Rscript -e "Sys.getlocale()"
[1] "LC_COLLATE=Chinese (Simplified)_China.936;LC_CTYPE=Chinese (Simplified)_China.936;LC_MONETARY=Chinese (Simplified)_China.936;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=Chinese (Simplified)_China.936"

However, the following command handles Chinese CORRECTLY.

Rscript -e "styler::style_file('my_r_file.R')"

I'm guessing the problem is the encoding of communication channel (I can't name it) between vscode and languageserver.

I already have the following lines in my {Documents}/WindowsPowershell/profile.ps1 {Documents}/WindowsPowershell/Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 {Documents}/WindowsPowershell/Microsoft.VSCode_profile.ps1

$PSDefaultParameterValues['*:Encoding'] = 'utf8'

$OutputEncoding = [console]::InputEncoding = [console]::OutputEncoding = New-Object System.Text.UTF8Encoding

These have effect on Windows Terminal App as well as built-in powershell client, even the integrated terminal in vscode.

But I can't determine it has any effect on VSCode itself, nor do I know if this is what's causing my problem at all. I don't know which terminal has the languageserver been running in

Looks like languageserver session and your typical R session does not have the same locale since language server is not started from a terminal with specific encoding settings.
