In hledger mode included UTF-8 journal causes failure to sync

[gitting]

Describe your Environment OS: Mac Sonoma intel Paisa Version: 0.5.3 (tweaked by author) App Variant: Desktop Locale: en-US

Describe the bug Opening paisa via spotlight fails to sync for a hledger configuration when a main journal includes another journal that is in UTF-8 because of non-ASCII characters.

To Reproduce

• place the attached journals in some directory
• configure paisa to point to main.journal and be in hledger mode
• ensure paisa is launched via Spotlight
• try to sync
• observe an error per below:

Expected behavior Sync succeeds just like in ledger mode.

_paisa.tgz

@gitting I tried the sample file you provided, still can't reproduce the issue. What is your hledger version? I am using 1.31

PS:

hledger has some info about this error

It only happens when paisa is started via Spotlight. If from terminal then it's fine.

The hledger is 1.31 installed via homebrew:

hledger 1.31, mac-x86_64
Usage: hledger CMD [OPTS] [-- ADDONCMDOPTS]

The $LANG is en_US.UTF-8.

Anyway, it is not a show-stopper for me as I'm planning to use paisa in ledger mode anyway. Or start it from terminal - will figure it out. Maybe it's just some weird combination on my machine since I also have haskell installed explicitly.

It is working fine now, thanks!
