UnicodeDecodeError running receive.grc example on Radioconda #7

Open n7ihq opened 11 months ago

I installed MacOS Radioconda version 2023.11.06 with python 3.11.6 and gnuradio 3.10.8. Running example receive.grc produces the following UnicodeDecodeError:

Exception in thread Thread-2: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/jim/radioconda/lib/python3.11/threading.py", line 1045, in _bootstrap_inner
self.run() File "/Users/jim/radioconda/lib/python3.11/site-packages/gnuradio/grc/gui/Executor.py", line 115, in run
r = self.process.stdout.read(1) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "", line 322, in decode UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xde in position 142: invalid continuation byte

Note: This error does not occur running receive.grc on Raspberry Pi 4 Bookworm OS with python3 3.11.2 and gnuradio 3.10.8.

I think this is more likely to be an issue with GNU Radio rather than gr-hermeslite2. It might still be the case that receive.py is generating non-UTF-8 data in stdout and this makes GNU Radio companion choke on Mac OS. I would suggest that you:

  1. Open an issue in the gnuradio repo.
  2. Try to run receive.py in Mac OS to see if it prints out anything strange to stdout (you might want to redirect stdout to a file and look at it with a hex editor).

The gr-hermeslite2 module works perfectly on Debian 12 Bookworm with python 3.11.2 and gnuradio 3.10.5. I will investigate the issue with MacOS and Radioconda.
