UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u200b' in position 10314: character maps to <undefined>
The error I was encountering is due to the write_textmethod of the Pathobject. This method writes a string to the file, and it uses the default encoding to do so. In this case, the default encoding seems to be ‘cp1252’, which doesn’t support the unicode character ‘\u200b’ (a zero-width space) present in the markdown_text.
To fix this issue, I explicitly specify the encoding as ‘utf-8’ when writing to the file. However, the write_textmethod doesn’t allow me to specify the encoding directly. Instead, I use the built-in openfunction with the ‘utf-8’ encoding.
When I tried to use the command:
kodekloud dl-quiz -o KodeKloudQuiz --sepI got the following error:
