Supporting of UTF encoding in Windows machines

[sapastukhov]

Difido report does not support cyrillic. Can you add support of UTF-8 format or something else to see the cyrillic chars? Or may be I simply dont know how to turn on this opportunity.

Hi.

Please provide the binder that you are using (NUnit, TestNG, JSystem), and the Difido version.

JSystem, in the runtime reporter all is ok. JSystem version 6.1.05. Cant say what version of the Difido reporter associated with it.

[sapastukhov]

Is it possible to solve it? Could you answer please?

The Difido reports and JSystem are using UTF-8 by default, so I am not sure why you can't see Cyrilic fonts. I tried to reproduce it with the following test:

    @Test
    public void testCyrillic() throws Exception {
        report.step("About to print cyrillic text");
        report.report("ЗАПИСЬ!!!");
    }

And I got the following report

If you still see the problem, please provide more detailed steps that will allow me to reproduce the problem.

It is really strange, I still see an issue. JSystem shows correctly

but Difido shows

I have found, that this specific character � is usually the sign of an invalid (non-UTF-8) character showing up in an output (like a page) that has been declared to be UTF-8. But cyrillic is UTF-8.. I dont know what happens) I tried with different browsers, but it did not help.

I tried it with JSystem 6.1.05, Chrome and Firefox and still could not reproduce the problem. I am keeping the issue open for now in hope that I will be able to reproduce it sometime (or better yet, it will miraculously start working on your environment :)).

Big thanks, I will try to find out what`s going wrong in my environment.

Interesting moment, it seems there are problems with .js files, which were generated for reports. When I decode them manually via notepad++ into UTF-8 without BOM, reports are showing normally without question marks in a black diamond. Why tag meta charset="utf-8" in html files does not work for js scripts, I dont understand. So, maybe it is a problem in JSystem, that it does not save js files in UTF-8 encoding, but strange that you cant reproduce it.

[sapastukhov]

Can you tell the setup which you used, where problem is not reproducible? Maybe OS, IDE are important. I am using WIndows 10 with Eclipse, but JSystem continues to save .js files in non-itf-8.

Thanks for the fix Itai. When do you plan to add new difido version to the JSystem project?
